Werdann played reasonably well in the preseason games, and it was based on
that performance (plus the fact that Anthony Cook and Gary Plummer were
hurt) that he got a roster spot.  He hasn't played that well in the regular
season at all.  The only other compelling reason he's on the roster is
to continue the MIGHTY NUGGETS tradition of two slow, tall, bad white guys
being on the team -- after Schayes and Rasmussen it was Hastings and Wolf,
now it's Hastings and Werdann (and if you really want to go back, try
Rich Kelley).

After stints in Europe and Israel, Plummer is playing well, backing up
LaPhonso Ellis.  He'll start seeing more minutes as he works himself into
playing shape.

Right. Well, Da Bulls & Pistons have already met once this season.
It went into OT and remained close up to the buzzer when Jordan hit
a 3 and the Bulls won by 2.
 
Not a "creamer" by any measure. I think the score was like 100-98 (??)
 
Plus, the Bulls have lost at least 1 game, but I can recognize an anti-woof

Basically I agree with the rest of what Jerray said.  Except I think
Golden State probably only needs to have one of the top twenty centers
in the league - and this is in addition to Alexander and Gatling.  Owens
is really too small for big forward against a team playing big.  Sure
Nellie likes to go small and Owens is great for that but he can't always
dictate the matchups; sometimes you have to bang inside and I believe
that Owens comes up short (at least over the course of an entire game).

So with Alexander, Gatling, a decent center, _and_ Owens GS would have
enough big people to have great flexibility at the 4 and 5 spots (and
great flexibility at 3 as well, I think Owens is really a more natural
3 spot).  This center need not be in the Ewing, Robinson, Olajawan (sp?),
Daugherty, O'Neal class.  Someone in the Cartwright, Seikaly, Benjamin
class would do just fine.  Even Divac would be better than a part time
Lister and a way too small Hill.

Probably already been said, but Rodman went to Miami for Grant Long and 
Brian Shaw.  But I did want to throw in here that I'd take Polynice over
Benjamin given the fact that the former works like a horse and the latter
like a dog.  Polynice has had some rebounding numbers lately that Ben
couldn't put up against a college team.

I really don't think that's what Charles meant.  Barkley is in effect with
his statement, accusing Sixer management of being racist for letting Poppen
make the team instead of maybe someone else.  Put it another way.  If I'm
playing basketball at a certain gym, and I see some girl who really knows
how to play, am I out of line by saying that she's the only girl I've seen
here who is really good?  Just an observation.  Barkley has always been
angry at the Sixers for acquiring stiffs.  Maybe he's wrong with his
allegations (Popson was probably acquired for being as tall as he is), but
I don't think it's a racist statement.

Not too badly.  He's "day to day" and won't go on injured reserve.  I don't

Question:

Not taking anything away from Cedric "I bet Dee Brown couldn't dunk
blindfolded" Ceballos, but why is Paul Westphal starting him over Tom
(the GOD of basketball....hee hee) Chambers? Sure Ceballos is younger,
but TC who has found the athletic fountain of youth in the offseason 
(weights, conditioning) is putting up the numbers to merit a starting spot.
Quite frankly, I think this a return to his explosive form of his first year
after coming over from Seattle. If you want a spark off the bench, Ceballos is 
the man for that job, not TC.

Just an opinion from a diehard [Chambers] fan (bandwaggoners need not respond)

GEEZ, people keep forgetting that a lot of Dominique's shots are dunks, 
and his field goal percentage is still piss poor.  The jumpers that he 
takes are a) ill-advised, b) off by a mile, and c) while he is trying 
to fake out the entire arena and not doing a good job of that either.  
Beside, he hustles in spurts on defense and no one can predict when he 
will put on a show or go to never-never land.  I definitely think that 
the Hawks are stuck if they are planning to build around Dominique.  
They should dump the guy, and start from scratch.  People here are sick 
of the same highlight reels and lame excuses.

It's fairly common for guards to wear mouthguards since when
they get elbowed by taller players, its usually in the face.

Just like many taller players wear goggles because when little
guards reach in (up) they get poked in the eye.

Anyway, off the top of my head, I know that Tim Hardaway ,
Kenny Anderson and Charles Barkley wear mouthPIECES.

I realize this is America, and as such we all have our constitutional right to 
vote as we so choose...HOWEVER, although Kendall is definitely is an up and 
coming player in the NBA, where on your list do you put a Clyde Drexler.  Last 
year, he averaged 25 ppg, 6.6 rpg and 6.7 apg!  Not to mention reasonably 
solid 'D' and superb leadership.  Or how about K.J. on the Suns (although 
presently injured).  Or even Jeff Hornacek on Philly.  Kendall's time is not 
too far off, but I put him right beside his former Illini teammate Nick 
Anderson for now.

Whereas I can understand your argument regarding Kendall relative to other NBA
guards, this choice is just bad.  How can you neglect Scottie Pippen?  After
the first four NBA games (in which da' Bulls did not play too well), the guy
already has two triple doubles!  He's gonna be better than last year, in which
he averaged 21 ppg, 7.7 rpg and 7.0 apg.  What about two Atlanta Hawks players- 
Wilkins or Willis?  How about the Mailman?  How about Danny Manning?  Or even
Lionel Simmons?  The list goes on and on.  Glenn Rice is definitely a bona
fide NBA starter, and a person who can light it up on many an occasion, but an
ALL-STAR he is not.

	The Kemp pre-NBA legacy:

	Graduated from high school in Indiana, finishing 2nd in the Mr.
	Basketball voting (to Woody Austin)

	Signed w/ the University of Kentucky

	Did not meet academic standards and entered UK under Prop 48

	Was accused of stealing teammate Sean Sutton's gold chains and
	pawning them at the local pawn store -- although charges were never
	brought forward, and Sutton withdrew any accusations, Kemp dropped
	out of UK and transferred to Trinity CC.

	After 1 year at Trinity CC, he declared himself eligible for the
	NBA draft.

	The rest is history (and history yet to be made).

	Jazzy J
