April 13, 2000, 11:18PM Around the NBA Around the league -- UCLA sophomores JaRon Rush, 6-6, and Jerome Moiso, 6-10, have decided to forgo their final two years of eligibility to make themselves available for the NBA draft, according to the Los Angeles Daily News. However, neither player would confirm the story. The players have until May 14 to make a decision. Portland Trail Blazers -- F Rasheed Wallace picked up a technical foul with 26 seconds left to play in the second quarter of Thursday's game. That boosted his single-season record total to 37. San Antonio Spurs -- A slight cartilage tear was diagnosed in F Tim Duncan's left knee, keeping him out of Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers. Duncan is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game with the Jazz. ... F Sean Elliott suffered slight sprains in both ankles in the first half of Thursday's game but returned to play in the third quarter. Vancouver Grizzlies -- Billy Knight, a Pacers executive and former NBA All-Star, reportedly is in line to become general manager of the Grizzlies. The Vancouver Sun said Knight has been offered the job. Knight, Pacers vice president of basketball operations, declined to comment on the report. -- Chronicle news services ============================================= According to the chronicle, Moiso has declared but hasn't confirmed it. I haven't seen this guy play but heard him compared to Swift which sounds good to me. To me, I think the Rockets need size, size, size in the frontcourt and I believe this guy is 6'10 so not to bad there. If anyone can give more details, I'd appreciate it. ------------------
