    If I added those options, then I feel the poll question would be too easy. :smile:

    Agreed. Everyone would pick the middle. I am a bit surprised that we have so many Vonleh optimists. He just seems to be growing, slowly, into that role. He has all the tools to be quite good on this team, in this offense and defense. I hope he continues to progress steadily. Just defending well and rebounding is good enough for now. Consistent, opportunistic scoring is the only missing piece.

    Yeah it is a tough question. I have not voted. I mean if PF of the future means next year......then I guess my vote is yes. He has earned that extra year to prove it. I think almost everyone wants him to be the guy. He definitely shows flashes. But next year he will need to take the next step on offense. Unless we get a dynamic scoring SF and then he just needs to shoot well enough to keep the defense honest. (while rebounding and playing D)

    This popped up on my youtube home page--thought it was a cool trip down memory lane seeing AC and Wesley Matthews (along with a Terry appearance near the end)

    I'm a bit disappointed you didn't use a picture of Butters for a certain player.
