I don't get it. I thought Pitino was a run and run and run guy. Not to be
overgeneralizing but it seems most Euro players tend to be a little slower
than their American counterparts, is this correct in his case. 

Traylor is the man in this draft anyway. The guy is a 6-8 Shaq, with much
better touch and hands...and free throws.
