no problems for. Yes, he does. Mel Daniels was the rookie of the year last year, as you recall when he was signed, he was the number one draft choice of the NBA as well as the A. B. A. And was a big signing for our league.

00:00:12.350 - 00:00:30.160

We've had some recent failures as you know in this respect, but uh, this was a big one for us and and uh this in his second year, he has voted the most valuable player in the league. Uh he uh deserves this honor to, well not only

00:00:30.160 - 00:00:41.510

Warren, but you know, with Warren playing sometime it forward, this gave Henry Logan a chance to get a little more playing time at the guard position. Of course, I was relying on our rookie, our or rather our veteran ballplayers doug moe at the forward and Larry

00:00:41.510 - 00:00:56.790

brown at guard uh, to kind of steer things for the young ballplayers because we are a young team and, and uh, and I believe learning something every time we go on the floor, um, I definitely feel that, uh, that we would have been better with rick,

00:00:56.790 - 00:01:09.170

but uh, there's always a little silver lining someplace and maybe this is it that these players got a chance to play a little bit more and to prove that they could win. And uh, now we find ourselves in a championship Series and we're extremely happy with

00:01:09.170 - 00:01:11.060

the progress of the Oakland Oaks at this date.
