This from Mitch Lawrence in his ESPN subscription column... lets hope he's right on Swift: "Although he's told LSU people he's coming back, NBA scouts say Stromile Swift will still opt for early eligibility. Swift's announcement that he's staying was seen as a way to keep the Tigers' boosters at bay. Why stay anyway, when you're a lock to go in the top five? Prep stars Darius Miles and Gerald Wallace also reportedly are coming out. Miles was the top player in the McDonald's All-Star Game, wowing scouts with his athleticism and length and quickness. Already, he's being compared to Kevin Garnett, which is a major reach." ------------------ NOTHING BUT .NET CLUTCHCITY.NET
I'm estatic over the news, but then I remember its ESPN. I'm hoping Swift or Moiso comes out. ------------------ Check out the best source for draft info. Draftsource.net
Im sorry but i think lawerence is full of bull. swift wont come out. he said he would stay until his junior year. i am 95% sure he wont come out. moiso needs to stay in school. in fact the entire UCLA frontcourt should. they all need another year to develop. darius i think will come out i have doubts on wallace. ------------------ --TEX
swift wont come out. he said he would stay until his junior year. i am 95% sure he wont come out. If Swift does come out, he would be a top four pick! I would not even be surprised if he went before Fizer. You just gotta know that he is receiving major pressure from would-be agents to chance his mind. ------------------
Here's a link to some more Darius Miles info www.basketballphenoms.com/miles.htm Check out the bottom picture. The guy is a toothpick. ------------------ [This message has been edited by grummett (edited April 10, 2000).]
He is skinny, but since this picture the kid has gained almost 30 lbs. He is going to get bigger and better, I would love to get the guy if we had our pick at 6 and another around 10 (he may be gone by then though). ------------------
Grummet, I watched a couple of high school all-star games over the past 2 or 3 weeks. That picture makes him look much skinnier than he appeared in those games. He definitely is skinny, but that pic makes him look anorexic. His body (and game) reminds me a lot of Kevin Garnett. I hope he has even 75% of KG's ability when he joins the Rockets... ------------------ <this space for rent>
