Another reason to like Morris Almond

by Seth on Jun 21, 2007 2:54 PM EDT in Draft Things

He pretty much wrote his own post for TrueHoop. Almond shares some of the struggles of the workout process:

"You get used to the drill quickly though. When you remember what's at stake, and how long you've persevered to reach this point in your life and career, it makes it all seem like a very small price to pay. Personally, after my recent college graduation, this will be the next big milestone in my life. Things will all start to fall into place as the seconds, minutes, hours, and days creep slowly towards the 28th. It'll feel good to finally have an answer to the question I get asked all the time in the airports and hotels: "Which team do you play for?" Get back at me in about a week for that one."

Sounds like a likeable guy, and an articulate one too (which makes sense I guess, since Rice is a very good school). I gotta admit I'm pulling to see Mo'Nuts in orange and blue come June 28th. Unless Sean Williams writes an entry for TrueHoop. Or Posting and Toasting. That'd be cool.

Wilson Chandler

So NBAdraft.net, who I always trust, since my friend (knicks fan) writes there and they're freakishly accurate, has us picking Wilson Chandler, and I've read elsewhere that the Knicks have made a "guarantee" to pick him, since he injured his leg, that if he stops working out, the Knicks will draft him if he falls or something. He sounds like an athletic 3 who will rebound and jack up inaccurate shots like it ain't a thang.
Is there anything more depressing then the player comparisons? Chandlers is "Joey Graham", who averaged 6 and 3 for the Raptors this year. Great. He went to DePaul - Q! - and his birthday is... unknown...
Anyway, it seems increasingly likely that Chandler has reached an agreement with the Knicks, and will be our draft pick, because there's no other reasoning for him to stop workouts, especially as a sophomore who could probably use a few more years in college.

The Son of Dippin.
