My Pick For The Hornets!
June 30, 2008

For Months I tauted Slovenian guard Goran Dragic as a player the Hornets should draft 27th overall.
Instead the Hornets traded their 1st round pick to Portland for 3 million dollars.
So, where did Dragic end up?  Phoenix.
If he becomes something special I’ll of couse say….I told you so…..to all Hornets people who’ll listen!

June 25, 2008

WDSU Top 5:
Coach Byron Scott told us today that his team will enter Thursday night’s NBA draft with a top 5 list.

Chris Douglas-Roberts
June 24, 2008

University of Memphis shooting guard Chris Douglas-Roberts worked out for the Hornets today.
If Douglas-Roberts is available at #27 when the Hornets pick in the first round I think he’ll be their guy.

I very much liked CDR when interviewing him today.  He’s got a sly confidence I like.  He also seems a tad bit aloof….as if [...]

The Old Market in downtown Omaha is a study in revitalization done perfectly….we enjoyed the restaurants and bars the area had [...]
