Lester Hudson hits crazy shots. Step back 3's with 2 guys on him. Crazy floaters. Great value here. Let's hope he makes the roster now.

He also had a quad double the season before this one.

GUys to invite to SL:

Paul Harris
Wes Matthews
Ty Rice

I think Danny felt bad for JR last year being in the D-league with only youngsters to hang with, so he drafted a 24 year old rookie for JR to hang with in the D-league next year.

no u are absolutely right,,,,he'll prob have the same career with the celts as clack

[Atzar]

Can we change his name to Gabe Giddens?  Or JR Pruitt?  He's like a combination of the two - Giddens' history (off-court problems, great numbers as the best player on a bad team against bad competition) with Pruitt's rough skillset (combo guard, good tools and skills at first glance).

I actually like the pick, as much as one can like the 58th pick.  There's actually a nonzero chance that he turns into a useful player at some point...

...even if that chance is about 1%.

[johnnyrondo]

So Erden counts as this year's 1st rounder right? Danny told me that last yr and you have to believe him.
