I guess he wasn't the answer at point guard

Tyus Jones could be.

By reputation, he is a class act, and will have a place in basketball for a long time.
I met him only once -- waiting for the 2001 team to return to the hotel after beating Arizona for the National Championship. This huge figure moved in front of us in a poorly lit back entry, one of many greeting the champions. I said quietly to Ms. Grouse, "That's Elton Brand." He heard me, turned around with a big smile on his face, shook our hands, and chatted for a moment or so. Class act, I'd agree.

He's always seemed like one of the really good guys. Plus, he's probably the only NBA player to produce a movie nominated for a Golden Satellite Award, "Rescue Dawn". Worth watching.

His jersey is waiting in the wings. Finish it, Elton...
