Had Mr. Bean played one or two seasons under Coach K, he would have likely taken some of Trajan Langdon's minutes, gone deeper into the NCAAs, maybe caught Player Of The Year and been a top-3 pick in the '98 draft over Olowokandi and Bibby. As it turned out, Phil sat him for a reason and The Mamba didn't start really slithering until '99 anyway.
I never doubted D'Angelo after seeing his tape and hearing him speak. And I think, on the court at least, he has earned our trust.
Now . . . what's going on with Randle?
