Thoughts on the Dookies, mostly gleaned from this Washington Post piece:
1) J.J. Redick will be playing his ass off for that fat contract from Isiah Thomas (once Stern fixes the draft). Has anyone ever used a #1 overall and a max contract to get a Steve Kerr? We'll find out in a few short months. Speaking of Redick...following last year’s exit from the NCAA tourney, an emotionally spent Redick was quoted as saying he didn’t want to take off his jersey because he was "wanting to keep Duke on my chest”. Thanks, Sticky. I've wanted a nickname for you for a while now.
2) Other Redick news: "Redick and McRoberts, a 6-foot-10 native of Carmel, Ind., have instant-messaged each other on the Internet for the better part of the past year and are basically inseparable, Redick said, which plays to the team's mantra, "Band of Brothers.""
Oh, McRoberts? Here he is.
Great. Now they can join Dora and Jeet in that special place in my life.
3) They’re relying on freshman and All-American Greg Paulus to be their point guard. This Greg Paulus.
Take a guess which one he is.
4) Their other highly touted freshman is Martynas Pocius. This Martynas Pocius.
Check out that hair! He’s got a nickname already, and I haven’t even seen him in action. Greetings, Young Skywalker. There are reports that he performs 360 dunks during practices. Of course, that's with a tennis ball, on a 7 foot Nerf hoop, but it should still be good enough to land him a series of back and knee injuries by his sophomore year.
5) They’ve still got big man and Captain of the All-Nickname team, the Landlord Sheldon Williams, playing for Okafor dollars.
6) I’m still picking Cincinnati to go all the way, on the wings of The Amazing Mr. Please Please, Jihad Muhammad.
