I used to think the Seattle Supersonics draft strategy was to draft all white guys in the first round. It made perfect sense. Vladimir Radmanovic, Luke Ridnour, Nick Collison, Robert Swift and Johan Petro (I assume that Walker assumed that Petro was white since he is French and was very surprise to find out he was wrong). But after Walker drafted a 7-footer out of Senegal, Africa I am going to have to admit I am wrong on this one. We are no longer trying to field an all-white team. No one would draft an African with that objective in mind.
Now it looks like we are going to put the twin towers basketball strategy to shame. Robert Swift, Johan Petro, and Mouhamed Saer Sane will be the triple towers. WATCH OUT LEAGUE. We only need two more years to get two more 7-footers that can not score and we can have a starting lineup of young unproven 7-footers with no skill. The Supersonics are looking to be the biggest team of the future and we have Wally Walker to thank for this master plan.
AMMO!!! The STACHE!!! Adam Morrison drafted number three by the Charlotte Bobcats. I think this is a good home for the guy who loves to score. I mean even Gerald Wallace was scoring in Charlotte. His defensive liablility can be covered a bit by all the great defenders on that squad - Wallace, Okafor, Knight.
Here is the bad news. You may not know this but Adam Morrison is diabetic. This is a tremendous stroy but if you live in the Northwest you have heard an Adam Morrisson diabetic story once a week every week for the last four years. One thing that has not changed about this story. It has not stopped AMMO from balling it up ( I am talking about scoring not crying).
I am not a Morrison fan but I have seen him grow as a player and leader since high school. I don't think he is an overly nice guy, a good defender, or easy to look at, but I must say he knows how to score and hates to lose. He also has not let diabetes get in the way of his game.
Congrats North Carolina!! You not only got a great scorer but a beautiful weekly story on AMMO and his diabetes once a week for as long as he plays on the Bobcats.
