Jimmy Jackson is Dallas' first round pick this year, and
he was a very versatile guard who can play both at the 1 or
2 position.  Only problem is, there was a contract dispute
between him and the Mavs front office, and Jackson
has actually gone back to college!  It's hard to say
whether he's worth the trade, since Negele Knight is
already a good point guard.....furthermore, the main
problem the Suns have is up front--they're still stuck
with a small line-up(Oliver Miller is only 6-8).
Plus, you wonder how much Phoenix could pay Jackson
and still stay under the salary cap.

Opinions?

These sound like damned good stats to me for a PF/C....a little light
on the rebounds, perhaps, but still great for a rookie.  I'll bet he
shoots a higher percentage than Chuck "Mr. Obnoxious" Person.

King was a "project" right from the start, and no one expected him to play
strong right away. When he returns from his injury he will probably be
expected to contribute more, expecially since Coach Karl doesn't like what
he's seen from Ben. Whether he's better than Cage is immaterial. He Cage's
role on the team is different than King's will be, and Cage only has a few
good years left anyway. If King plays at or above Ben's level, he'll win the
starting position for the interim, and Ben will most assuredly be gone. The
Sonics simply cannot afford him. When Kemp's contract is up (anyone know
when that is?), the Sonics will have some serious salary cap problems, and
Ben is a waste of money for them now. King has a golden chance here, but if
he looks like he did last season, I doubt he'll have a future in the NBA.

Subject: INSIDE SPORTS poll: best players by position
Organization: Chinet - Public Access UNIX
Date: Thu, 7 Jan 1993 01:57:16 GMT

In the newest issue Inside Sports comnvened a panel of a dozen NBA
scouts, coaches, gms and the like and had them vote on the top five
players at each position (5 points for 1st-place vote, 4 for 2nd, etc.).
The rankings with vote totals (top 10 at each position unless fewer than
that got votes):


POINT GUARD
Stockton 56
KJ       34
Hardaway 30
Price    27
Thomas   21
Pooh      7
Jackson   2
S. Smith  1

SHOOTING GUARD
Jordan   60
Drexler  45
Lewis    19
Miller   12
Dumars   12
Richmond 10
Hornacek  9

Ewing    49
Olajuwon 39
Daugherty24
O'Neal    7
Parish    5
Mutombo   2
Seikaly   1


NOTES:
Jordan was the only unanimous choice, and Drexler was virtually
unanimous for second behind him (2nd on 10 of the 12 ballots). Barkley
got some of votes at small forward, and his point total includes those
votes. Tightest voting was at small forward, where Pippen got 4
1st-place votes, Barkley and Mullin 3 each, and Wilkins 2.

And before anyone wonders, seeing Pippen's and Grant's high ratings: no,
none of the panelists were from the Bulls organization.

	Is anybody certain about the question about goal tending a free throw?

	Since a player is entitled to enter the lane upon the release of the
shot, there's plenty of time to try to do something about the shot.  Suppose
the ball is bouncing on the rim and it is swatted away.

	Why would somebody do this?  Suppose a team is up by two with a few
seconds left, and the shooter attempts to intentionally miss the shot, say by shooting *real* high and hoping the ball bounces off the rim.  The defensive team,
ahead by 2 points, might jump in and goal tend to make sure only one point is
scored.

****

	What about dunking a free throw?  Can the shooter cross the line before
his release but not touch the floor?  How about if somebody had *really* long arms :) and could reach the basket from the free throw line.

Most of the reason for that, I think, is just that their minutes and usage
declines and they're rhythm is no longer in a consisten flow.  Even
Billy Paultz was a decent free-throw shooter (high 70s) before he became a
10-minute scrub.

I've heard many comments by Jordan's coaches and teammates that they've
never seen anyone who works as hard in practice as Jordan.  Doug Collins
talked about it quite a lot.  Jordan is very competitive in scrimmages
(and in all things, apparently) and got pissed at Collins once when he
thought Doug wasn't keeping score correctly.

So Jordan certainly works very hard in practice.  I don't know if he's as
conscientious with general conditioning, weight work, etc.

The trade rumor as heard in the SF Bay Area is usually more like Owens for
Detlef.  I suspect both sides hear what they want to hear ... we'd like
Detlef, you'd like Owens without giving up Detlef.  Don Nelson is capable
of anything, and he has been disappointed in Owens since Billy showed up
for camp this season a bit out of shape ... but since it has been about 8
zillion years since Nellie had a good big man, I think he can live a few
years more, if getting that big man means he gives up a potential all-star
like Owens for Rik Smits.  Owens might be traded; Marciulionis also gets
mentioned a lot ... the Warriors *do* need a big man ... but they aren't
gonna get just ANY big man, and it's unlikely that anyone is gonna trade
Nelson a GOOD big man unless the Warriors cough up too much in return.

gee...i guess Celtic fans are supposed to take that as a compliment.  but
then you guys have to put up with "Fakers"....

another note:  johnny most & red auerbach are the only 2 in the celtics
organization to have been there for all 16 titles.

a story paraphrased from glenn ordway's pregame salute to johnny:

early 80's west coast road trip...glenn was the sidekick for johnny then and
each of them typically had a lot of equipment they brought around to all
the games - including tape recorders to get interviews on tape.  johnny
forgets his and after the game is looking around for it to do an interview
with Bird, who just scored some 46 odd points.  glenn is getting ready to
do an interview of his own with someone else when johnny comes up to him
and says "gimme that taperecorder!"  glenn says no, he's got an interview.
johnny goes on "come on gimme the taperecorder - i'm the show - dont you
know?  I'M THE SHOW!" and takes the taperecorder away from glenn.  later
in the bus the players are all making fun of glenn in their usual way led
by ainge's "he's the show, glenn.  you're just dirt."  then Bird comes up
to Most and asks in a big voice "hey Johnny - how many points did i score
today? huh?"  and Johnny Most says "46".  then Larry comes back with
"I'M THE SHOW!".
