Mike Gorman was on NEST and said that Wallace kid has been the talk of practice for the C’s. Apparently he was a big time rebounder in college but has shown an ability to score in practice. He said C’s fans should watch for him in these games.

I Love Leons’ “It’s my Paint” Facial ;)

Pretty good game. I liked what I saw. Leon Powe was indeed the show. Davis was ok. The kid from SC is ok and belongs in the league— more so than Alan Ray. Gabe Pruitt is no Delonte West, that’s for sure. He doesn’t have the BBIQ. Decent stroke, but the rest of his game is blah.

Very nice game for Gerald Green, who did an excellent job on Martell Webster. Right now, Green is markedly superior to Webster, who was taken 14 places ahead of Gerald in the draft.

Those kids played defense. Now if they can only get the veterans to do the same…

fouls are going to be a problem for Oden

It’s good that Powe, Green & Davis are getting this run. They won’t see these kind of minutes once the season starts. Esp. If Ratliff or another front court is aquired.

Fouls are a problem for just about every big man coming into the League. Look at Perk & Al. They took 2 years to stop commiting cheap fouls. Oden will start getting the calls once the season starts, I predict.

Why not sign Wallace? Allen Ray is probably gone, Kandi man should be gone and there may be a trade involving Ratliff 1 or 2 players. There will be roster spots.

I like the fact that he averaged 2.9 blocks per game last year in college.
