Jamaal Tatum UPDATE

[kocharenafan1245]

Made It To The Nba as a PG for the Atlanta Hawks!

[JohnDorian]

Go going Doggies and Kenan Thompson's a damn good coach!

[huskerblue]

Yes, he is one of 18 in camp for Atlanta and Anthony Tolliver is one of 20 in camp for Cleveland. It would be nice if they could make final cuts - we'll see.

Considering his run-ins with the law, he seems well on his way to a long career in the NBA.

Not fair. :roll:
But, he made his bed ... he has to lie in it.

Don't forget he was on the Valley's all-academic team for two or three years. He's a smart guy ... I don't forsee him making those same mistakes again.

I hope he's learned. He seemed like a decent individual and was a heck of a competitor.

Oh, come on MSN......I have made my feelings on JT very clear. I was kidding more than not. The kid is a hell of a competitor and deserving of his chances. I understand he has been a good student but he did make some exceedingly poor choices that he did not pay for (enough) imo. Of course my opinion doesn't matter. In actuality, I like the young man a lot. I thought he handled himself on the floor like a champion and you rarely, if ever, saw a "bad actor" response from him, unlike say a Jamar Howard or Ben Jacobson. I hope he has learned from his mistakes, takes advantage of his second chances and succeeds in whatever life experiences he has.

I was having fun with you, too (I don't know all of your emoticons so I couldn't figure out which one to use).
He got in trouble, he left himself wide open to criticisms. JT is fair game as far as I'm concerned.
I just thought it was important to point out he wasn't a complete troublemaker.

Looks like Tatum is injured. Here is a link to the box score for the first preseason game for the Hawks.

I hope that doesn't keep him from making the roster. Having Valley guys in the NBA that coaches can point to helps everyone in the Valley recruit at a higher level.
