here is a blurb from an article p.s. written for yesterday:
Stoudemire impressive
Cypress Creek High School star Amare Stoudemire, who was selected ninth overall in last month's draft, has scored in double figures in every one of the Phoenix Suns' summer league games.
After averaging 14.3 points and 5.5 rebounds in a summer-league in Long Beach, Calif., he is now playing in the Rocky Mountain Revue in Salt Lake City.
"I had several NBA types come up to me and congratulate us on our draft," Suns General Manager Bryan Colangelo told the Arizona Republic. "They said, 'You got our guy.' And I'm thinking, 'But you picked ahead of us.' "
Though he doesn't know it, Stoudemire will face a rival at 4 p.m. today.
Chicago Bulls' preps-to-pros phenoms Tyson Chandler and Eddy Curry are upset with Stoudemire over comments he made to the Sentinel in January. In the story, Stoudemire said of last year's high schoolers: "My work ethic is a little higher than theirs, to be honest."
"My comment to him is that he better just come and work, since he works so hard," Chandler said in response. "It's going to be a rude awakening. If he thinks that me and Eddy don't work hard, evidently he doesn't pay attention to basketball."
