Re: CLippers Select Thornton
Vada, quit starting new threads about the same thing. We have threads already about it, this is the second or third ive had to merge already.
In response to your thread, its far too early to say who got the steal of the draft. We wont know until after next year or possibly the year afte.r But perhaps youd like to elaborate on how you think thornton at his age, is all of a sudden going to become a 20+ 8 rebound guy on this team, because thats what would be required AT LEAST to be considered the steal of the draft at 14.

My bad, Singleton is 25 and Thornton is 23.

Re: CLippers Select Thornton
whats the story on him, did he graduate a year late from high school? redshirt a year? If i would have gone to a 4 year college i would have graduated when i was 21, not almost 24.
Wasnt acie law a 5th year senior? At least a 4th year senior, and he barely turned 22.

I just learned he was a 5th year senior so I guess he was a red shirt his freshman year.

Re: Clippers select Thornton
youre in college taking classes but youre not playing ball. It doesnt count toward your 4 years of eligibility. Youre allowed only one of these, unless you get a "medical" redshirt too when lets say you play in like one game, blow out your knee, but youve already used your redshirt..you can apply for a second "medical" redshirt year so you can play one more year. Thats more common in college football.

Re: Clippers select Thornton
seems like the only knock on al is his age...would you guys be this unhappy if he were 18-20ish??? i think we got the bpa, and like vada said, disregard age...not like he was a franchise player anyways...
and the fact that we didn't take a guard might mean that our backcourt situation isn't as bad as we all thought...perhaps shaun is way ahead of schedule and sam is feeling great...
the sky is definitely not falling...

Re: Clippers select Thornton
age is just one of the few "knocks" on him. He might be a decent player. Heck, without the richardson trade he could have STARTED on a team like charlotte. The main thing im concerned with is he doesnt fit our team at ALL since he cannot play C or SG.
