I'm really happy for DO if this happens. As much as I wish he hadn't bailed on his spring classes at UK, I still like the guy and want the best for him. Once a 'Cat, always a 'Cat, right? And it raises the possibility that we could get four or even five in the lottery. Anyway, I get a certain pleasure thinking of the possibility that he could consign Tyler Hansbrough, crowned the supposed toughest basketball player in the history of the universe or some such garbage by the media, to Sheldon Williams-like minutes on the Pacer bench. May not happen, but I'd love it if it did.
Well, there goes that domino. Anyone surprised? I'm betting not. Discuss below. UPDATE: Hmm. Apparently, this report was premature (subscription required to read the whole thing).
One word for this kid. Stud.
