NBA 2008 SUMMER LAS VEGAS CAMP

[BostonWu]

The Bulls made the right choice.

I disagree...I don't think that Rose will ever be a Chris Paul or Darren Williams. The heat got a gift from the Bulls.

Yeah but who could have foreseen what Darren Williams has accomplished...I don't think anyone knows how it will all turn out. I think some fans just discount #1 picks due to their draft position.

PJ played today in the first game vs the orlando magic.

He had 6 points (3 of 4), 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 personal fouls, 1 turnover. Played about 10 mins.

Thanks for the link- interesting to see Patrick Ewing with a technical. Did not realize he was coaching.

There was a nice story about Paul Miller this evening on the KSN (3) 6pm news. He's headed to Vegas on Friday to play for the NY Nicks. Hopefully they will re-broadcast later tonight at 10.

Just like PJ, I wish Paul all the luck in the world. He represents WSU as an excellent former player and I hope this time he gets to go to the NBA.

I still think Paul would make a good end of the bench type guy in the NBA. Possibly becoming a decent reserve. He's not as athletic as many big men in the league but he's smart and can play and has good range. I hope it works out for him this time.

There are plenty of guys that have had long NBA careers as back-up big men based on the ability to hold defensive position and hit an open shot. Paul can do both, so he will always have a shot to make a roster.

He doesn't have the upside of some guys you could put on a roster, but if a team is looking for reliability out of their bench, he fits the bill.

Paul might fit in well with D'Antoni.

Little need for defense. Good shooter with good range.

I dont remember how well he ran though.


Im only kidding about the defense part.

[notquiteBWing]

but i couldn't tell for sure. there's basically no play-by-play or color commentating. i rarely ever knew who anyone was, except brook lopez, joakim noah, tyrus thomas, brad buckman, and ryan anderson.

Thanks for the info. It'd be nice to see a couple of them make it.

Jamal Tatum will fit in well with Bruce Bowen
