Ewing - featured on D-League website front page www.nba.com/dleague/ Scoring major pts and getting boards. JWallace - I was trying to figure out why he was cut from Union Olimpija Slovenia (which is actually a pretty good team despite what one might assume about Slovenia) and one article seemed to imply it had more to do with a young rising-star home-grown point guard they acquired than anything Wallace did. He was scoring like 10 ppg with several assists over about 10 games, then just got cut. The team rep said in response to my email that they think he went home after, though he still has an agent. |

I saw JWall around Georgetown two or three times around 2-3 weeks ago. So, he is back state-side for now I would assume.

Maybe he enrolled in Law school in January? Just a hypothesis.

There wouldn't be much of a point. It's not like you can finish any faster than 3 years anyway. I agree that I'd rather hear that he's over in McD teaching our "inexperienced" guards how to get along and maybe hit a 3 point shot every few games. |

A buddy plays pickup with Tyler on a regular basis and I try to play when I can. He is dominating, a given with the level of competition. The last couple of weeks, he's brought JWall along with him. JWall also looks real good. Not sure how it translates playing a bunch of regular guys versus playing pros. It's amazing how the stuff they on the court that we take for granted looks different up close, Anyway, I haven't wanted to bother him by asking what his future holds.

You guys play any 3 on 2 to try to challenge them (or maybe 4 on 2)? ;D |

Watching Ewing play right now.. just had a nice series of plays.. first on the defensive side drawing a charge.. his team turned it over on the next possession, he came out of nowhere and pinned the fastbreak shot to the backboard.. gave the outlet pass flew down court, penetrated and dished out an assist.. commentators really fond of ewing right now

It's amazing how the stuff they on the court that we take for granted looks different up close. Agree with this 100% - in all sports. The best example for me is when you have really good seats near home plate for a Major League Baseball game. |

I've been looking for a place to get my ass handed to me by some guys of whom I consider myself a fan. |

tyler was playing some at yates earlier this year. shot was typically streaky as all get out, but he pulled down every board/got to the basket and scored at will whenever he wanted. dude is still jacked. he was always a great rebounder for a guard.

Ewing, Jr. to take part in the D-League dunk contest. It's being held at the same time as the rookie challenge so I don't think you'll find it on TV, but I'm sure there'll be either a live feed or some highlights on nba.com www.nba.com/dleague/news/2009_dream_factory.html |

Holy crud - did you see Pat's line from 2/5 - 23 pts, 15 rebs, 5 blocks, 5 assists, 13 of 14 from the line and only 2 TOs.
Just think - in 4 years Greg and DaJuan will be putting up #s like that in the NBA and we will be able to say "I knew him when he was just learning how to catch the ball (DaJuan) and go to his right (GM)." (before anybody gets snippy, think about whether I mean that seriously. just think about it...)
