Some of the best graduating seniors in the NCAA are currently participating in the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament. Those that are younger and as, if not more, talented are starting to decide whether they will forego their NCAA eligibility by signing an agent and entering the draft, test the NBA draft waters without an agent (retaining […]

Anyway, he threw an interesting quote out to David Gurian-Peck of The Daily Pennsylvanian concerning choosing between Scott Boras and Arn Tellem as an advisor when Glanville was preparing to be drafted: “Scott Boras was dynamic.

You Tellem, Rose
I am not shocked to read the plethora of clippings that claim Derrick Rose is done with his workout tour after only showing his skills off to the Bulls. I was also not blown away when I read Rose politicking more than Barack Obama and John McCain in an effort to have Chicago sign the […]
