    Someone postet a claim that last night Cole tipp in a basket for SAC instead to rebound it.

    So I would like to know if this really happened, would this count as 2 points for Cole and for SAC or 2 points for whatever SAC player and SAC??

    Cole is just another guy. A stiff with slow lateral movement.

    It did really happen and it counts as 2 points for the Sonics and the points went to the guy who shot it.

    I think Aldrich has some potential... but he's shown like no improvement since being drafted. He's a terrible help defender, but his one on one defense doesn't look TOO bad-- doesn't fall for pump fakes very often and gets his hands up on opposing bigs' shots. His rebounding seems extremely sporadic... there are times where he'll grab tough boards and other times he'll time his jump completely wrong and miss the easy boards. As for offense he's really only got that baby hook that seems to work for him, but he rarely goes to it. He could be much better than he is right now, but even then compared to legit NBA bigs he'd still be pretty suckish.

    If he could get his fouls under control he might not be a negative on the court anymore... probably won't be a positive either.

    Points usually go to whatever Kings player was standing closest to Aldrich, not necessarily the shooter.
