Will we regret Trae Waynes?

There's something else at play here:  Lou Anarumo has a "vision" for the defense and he needs his type players to make it happen in reality.  Lou's type player isn't necessarily the same as a player who came to Cincinnati under Marvin Lewis, Paul Guenther, Mike Zimmer, or even Teryl Austin.  Some players are good enough and versatile enough to play on any defense -- Geno Atkins, Von Bell, Sam Hubbard, DJ Reader, maybe Carlos Dunlap -- and Lou will build around these players along with someone who I personally believe will be a star in this league:

Germaine Pratt.
