I'm not sure every scout thinks that way. Every scout was worried about his attitude. From what I saw of him, the biggest problem with his attitude was that he was too competetive.

he also cant lead a team and run an offense consistently, but my real question is what makes you think he will be a better pro?

I didn't know 2/3 of those listed where known as the King. Two of them aren't even athletes, so I'm not sure what the one would have gotten it for.

your math is off a little bit. none of the three are athletes.

[TheDoctor]

Can't run an offense? That happens when you're surrouned by players who miss what should be assists.

He'll be a better pro because he's a better athlete and will want it more. Especially after not being picked.

right so because he is an athlete and has motivation to succedd...(which daniel ewing i guess doesnt) then he will be better then the 32nd overall pick. I dont know if you have noticed but guys who have a winning attitude and play good defense, usually last longer and are more successful in the league.

Richard and Arnold laugh in your general direction.

Elvis is still spinning in his grave over his daughter marrying Michael Jackson.

[VottCetaVeivE]

will be a better pro than Ewing.

As any number of ESPN trolls would say, bank on it.

[Darlmtgq]

cant think of any that fit under that category, sorry

I can.

He already showed that he can better than him in college.

[usacomm]

Ryan Randle will be playing with Gilchrist on the Cavs' summer league team.

I don't think that deserves its own thread. Go sleepy!

[Sukadrukanga]

that player with the crotch rocket, will be back this season and will be much better then gilchrest ever will

i thought winslow was out for the year.

[YabbaIn]

yeah too bad they are playing in the nba now, and ill take playing well the entire season then only showing up in two games. gilchrest will be picked up and will be solid if he fixes his attitude cause he can score and is a good one on one player. Ewing though has a great attitude and a winning mentality, he can shoot lights out from the mid range and further. I mean besides being a maryland fan, what makes you think he will be better because every gm and scout that does this for a living doesnt think so.

[PristisoliTer]

I trust that he'll return. It's to what extent that I question.

Gilchrist may turn out better than a lot of people think. He may turn out worse than a lot of people think.

I made this thread for the hell of it.

Somebody should really do something about this.

Bulls still have eye on Williams


By Mike McGraw

Posted Saturday, July 09, 2005

General manager John Paxson would have welcomed Jay Williams on the Bulls’ summer league team had the former No. 2 draft pick felt ready to play.

Now two years removed from a motorcycle accident that severely damaged his left leg, Williams is playing full-court basketball with other NBA players at the West Loop Athletic Club.

“He’s not going to play summer league this year,” said Kevin Bradbury, one of Williams’ representatives. “He’s probably about four weeks away. The goal is to be ready for training camp.”

When the Bulls bought out Williams’ contract for $3 million and released the 6-foot-2 guard a few months following the accident, he promised to give his former NBA team the right of first refusal if he was ever ready to play again. It’s been widely assumed that the Bulls would not pursue re-signing Williams because they already have three small guards in Ben Gordon, Chris Duhon and Jannero Pargo. But Paxson said he remains interested in watching Williams’ recovery.

“I would hope we’d be contacted first,” Paxson said. “I’ve talked to (Williams’ agent Bill Duffy) about it, too. He (Williams) can do what he wants. I just asked that we get the first crack at it.”


Williams’ chances of returning to the NBA next season may be steep, but he should have plenty of options when he looks for a place to try out.

“Right now, there are a ton of teams that have interest,” Bradbury said. “We’ll leave (a return to the Bulls) up to Pax. Gar (Forman, the Bulls’ director of player personnel) said to me, ‘If the kid can play, we’ve got to take a look at him.’“

Bradbury also represents Duhon and was in Paxson’s office Friday morning with Duffy to discuss a new contract. Bradbury said progress was made, but there is not yet an agreement.

Duhon turned down the Bulls’ initial offer of the $1.7 million lower-level exception. To pay the second-year point guard more than that, the Bulls will have to use a portion of the mid-level exception, worth about $5 million.

Duhon’s statistics weren’t gaudy last season, but it’s hard to dispute the bottom line. The Bulls posted a 47-26 record during the regular season when he started at point guard.

“We’re nowhere near asking for the average salary for a starting point guard in the NBA,” Bradbury said. “There’s interest from other teams. They’re all being patient because they feel the Bulls are going to match whatever happens.” On Friday evening, the Bulls faced Orlando in their second game at the Reebok Vegas Summer League. The Bulls opened with an 83-79 win over Washington on Wednesday behind 16 points from center Jared Reiner. Rookie guard Eddie Basden also played well.

I don't think that Richard Petty, Arnold Palmer, or Elvis even watch college basketball.

I didn't know 2/3 of those listed where known as the King. Two of them aren't even athletes, so I'm not sure what the one would have gotten it for.

[fmrcurter]

Both Ewing and Gilchrist won't amount to much, I would say Ewing has the better chance of staying in the league since he could stay with a team as their 3 pt shooting guy off of the bench.

[saopinax]

duke's track record isn't very solid in the nba.

They produce alot of guys who don't become stars but can be role players which is where I would put Ewing. Maryland doesn't have any more success then Duke does in the last 10 years.

[Creelaleps]

sure started out on the right foot...

Gilchrist late
Some speculated the reason point guard John Gilchrist didn't get drafted was because of his very public problems with his Maryland teammates and coach Gary Williams. He didn't make a positive impression on his new set Thursday after showing up late to a morning meeting. Gilchrist did not play in the team's summer-league debut as a result.

As long as he doesn't have a crotch rocket, he has a better head on his shoulders than some players I've heard of.
