Yao Ming on Juwan Howard & Requirements for Position 4

perhaps we can lose some of the homo-eroticism as well....

 

Thus proving the old adage: pimpin' ain't easy.

 

thats the biggest assist eddie almost ever gave yao...thanks cd for another brillant stroke of genius...oh thats right, that trade didnt work out well so we must blame rudy for that. im so glad we gave that guy a banner next to hakeem

 

Awesome article.

 

We better trade up for Sean Williams this is the guy that Yao and Tracy are describing. However, they better take him under their wing and keep him out of trouble in Htown.

 

The problem that we have is lack of assets to move up IMO.

 

Everything I read about Yao makes me more impressed with him as a person.

 

Did we learn absolutely nothing from Eddie Griffin? The guy has done all of the wrong things not only during his brief college career but has continued to do all of the wrong things during the pre draft process.

If the Rockets draft this guy then I truley hope it works out but he has continued to be a flake so I don't know why anyone would put an ounce of faith in this guy.

 

Juwan Krishna.

 

Seriously. I've read that Sean Williams is working out with John Lucas, who regularly takes troubled young basketball players under his wing. While that's a good thing, does anyone happen to know if anyone who has worked with Lucas has actually panned out? Eddie Griffin sure didn't.

 

SEAN WILLIAMS!!!

 

Everything that is needed in a PF is what sean williams has especially defense 5 blocks a game thats hard to do. hopefully he is there at #26

 

It would be nice if he could rebound and score a little but he certainly did not stand out in either catagory.


He only averaged 6.9 rebounds a game last year, not very good. His teammate Jared Dudley is much better.

 

I would like to see a little more effort from him during the pre draft period.

- He has not attended any pre draft combines.
- He only does workouts in Houston in a controlled envirement against some 7'3" stiff.
- He has had no true competitive workouts for anyone.
- He has not even done a pre draft physical. Why? Is he hiding something?
- don't you at least want to see how he tests out athletically and what his true measurements are? We don't even get that since he did not bother to get measured and tested with the other draftees.

He does not seem that he really cares about being drafted with the way he acts.

 

Sean Williams reminds of Griffin a lot. Insanely gifted at being a shot blocker and an athlete to boot, and also apparently nuts.

 

Do we need rebounding/defense or outside shooting from the 4 spot?

...why not just solve both those problems by targeting Marcus Camby (the Nuggets seem to think he is the odd man out at their cluttered 4 spot). Good blocker, great rebounder, and can hit that midrange shot

 

Well if Denver is looking to dump some salery then a trade of Rafer plus Sura's contract would work and also give the Nuggets a point guard which the really need.

I like Camby so I would not be opposed to this trade.

 

*LAFF* That Eddie . . was always looking out for his boys

I thought so too because he focused on Rebounding and Defending
There was no expectation of scoring
