Did you expect much, Don Nelson?

"No," he said. "I did not."

Oh, he remembers thinking that Najera was "interesting," and when saying it, Nelson seems like a mechanic looking over a wrecked Porsche, wondering what parts he could salvage.

Nice size at 6-8. Wouldn't embarrass himself. Good hustle. Make the starters work hard in camp. Give him three or four years in the league, and maybe you've got something.

Of course, that's if he lasted that long.
