Pat,

It worked for Parrish and McHale.  Nobody is going to confuse Garnett
with a power lifter.  Bosh was manhandled??  By who?  Rashard Lewis?
Bosh is a 4, not a 5.  Toronto's 5 is Rasho Nesterovic.  I think you
need to give Wright a chance over a 2 or 3 year period before you can
judge him just because he's skinny.
