Does Ralph Samson III get drafted?

Everything in the computer need my face on it. Mega Gigabytes, son!

If this isn't a (fruitless) "testing of the waters,"

his father ought to slap him.

I believe that he's being encouraged

to go out, go through exercises and tryouts with teams. It’ll give him some additional perspective on his game and if he can do anything to grow… you know like play a tiny bit aggressively.

If any of the stated positives come to pass

Then I’m all for it.

Dream pairing

Imagine Sampson and Darko on the floor together. It would be the friendliest front court in the NBA.

Ralph Sampson III

Wouldn’t get drafted in the D-League draft right now..

I believe its May 17th

Kyrie Irving

could do this franchise a big favor by dropping out of the lottery after the Wolves win it and explicitly stating that he would never play for a franchise with such an inept owner, front office, and coach.

Of course, he could also do the franchise a big favor by playing for them, but it’s selfish of me to wish for that outcome. Instead, I wish the best for him and hope he has the courage to Just Say No, to the Wolves.

I haven't written an insightful post in years.

Let's worry about that after the Wolves win it.

We get all the "What should we do if...?" scenarios out of the way before the lottery.

That way afterward we can focus on conspiracy theories and how the [rookie of the year]/[best player in class] often gets drafted 5th or 7th.

Interesting stat...

…if true, maybe it has more to do with the organization drafted into than the player.

by timmuggs on Apr 28, 2011 4:55 PM CDT up reply actions  

Think he has to commit before the lottery

May 8

Early entrant candidates have to withdraw by May 8 in order to keep eligibility.

That is what I thought.

That secondary date has more to do with European players typically.

Bad news

not a Jonny Flynn on the list.

Dingus Kahn, it's over

by Flagrant on Apr 28, 2011 1:56 PM CDT reply actions  

Bad news. Rambis is still the coach.

Based on last season's result's

he is the coach In Name Only.

I assume that Taylor, Kahn, and Rambis know what they're doing.

by PoorDick on Apr 28, 2011 2:05 PM CDT up reply actions  

That's right

just let the pus ooze from your collective lips. There, does that feel better now.

And consider, at the end of the day, your opinion doesn’t mean shit.

Dingus Kahn, it's over

by Flagrant on May 4, 2011 9:31 PM CDT up reply actions  

I also hear that opinions are like assholes

and now they don’t mean shit????

We can’t have it both ways!

A kid Tony Ronzone "discovered" in Africa just signed with St Johns

However, my niece discovered him first while doing a semester in Africa. He emailed me video but it was just dunking and I was like, eh… He lived with their family here part time. Went to Erie CC and now is part of the # 3 recruiting class in the country. Pretty cool.

That's good,

but I would also go with, “MMMMmmmmm . . . Bacon!”

Wow Jim Dolan looked a lot like Kevin Bacon when he was younger

He sure has gone to pot since taking on the role of “uber rich, meddling, incompetent buffoon owner of the Knicks.”

What about Dan Kelm?

Probably the kid’s only chance to ever have his name mentioned in the national media. I am really surprised more guys don’t do this.

by skin5lv on Apr 28, 2011 2:35 PM CDT reply actions  

someone needs to give the players on our roster a report card grade.

Who stinks, who has no future, who preformed well, who is going to get better etc…

You missed it David (both of you)

Oceanary did a great job besides the low score he gave Pek

NO

You kind find it yourself by utilizing the search tool in the top right hand corner of the screen. Also you view past stories on the home page. Now fish!

Not enough time is spent evaluating players on this site.

I can not tell if there is sarcasm in this statement.

I frequent BlazerEdge a lot and they give mid yea and end year report cards to their entire roster. I haven’t seen anything like that over here.

by David Jaffe on May 2, 2011 2:00 PM CDT up reply actions  

Haha yeah sorry

lots of sarcasm. I think we all have a pretty good idea of where our guys would be, give or take a grade or two depending on the poster.

Mostly Fs. Couple Ds. Maybe a C or two. Love as a B to an A-.
