Williams and Boozer named to the Olympic team!

Boozer and Williams made it to the team. I don't know if the team will do very well as the only power players on the team are Boozer, Bosh, and Howard. What were they thinking? I know the USA got killed with outside shooting a few years ago, but this year they seem to have forgotten about the inside game. It's going to be a scary Olympics if we can't make the outside shot.

Hopefully the coach will play Williams more than Christina Paul. I know Kidd will start, but Williams will do better against the international competition than Paul will.

Thursday is the Draft. The Jazz better package their picks if they think they're going to get a quality big man (*cough* Hibbert *cough*). I will be disappointed if they let him get away. We don't need 3 picks this year. Package them (and a player if needed) to move up in the draft.

What's the matter, don't you want Trent Plaisted from BYU? He'll be fine as long as he doesn't drink any of that nasty orange juice, which causes vomiting :). I can't believe that he thinks he's ready for the NBA. He needed to follow Lee Cummard's lead and withdraw from the draft without hiring an agent and go back to school. Oh well! I wouldn't be surprised to see a trade, most likely for future draft picks. I don't think we'll get much out of this draft. We'll see what rabbit Kevin O'Conner pulls out of his hat.

Plaisted was lucky he got drafted, but he will not play one day in the NBA. He just does not have the skills to play there. He should have played one more year in college and improved his game there. He then may have had a chance to play at the NBA level.
