because he looks ready upper body. Impressive.

Watch WN handle the ball in his portion of the video. I am sure that is just a fraction of his skills. I wonder how many 6-10 guys in the league can equal him?

Although it doesn't necessarily translate into being a good basketball player, I was pretty darn impressed by that at as well. We've had big men (i.e. Tony Jones (before your time), Alex Korelev, Costa Malone, etc.) who could barely hold on to a basketball, let alone do the tricks WN was doing.

Very impressive. Taggart looked pretty comfortable with the ball also. Interesting video. I have an idea. Why don't they film the practices. Steve can edit out what he doesn't want us to see, and post them on the official website. If it's a problem having fans at practices, this would be a fan friendly thing to do.

Fan friendly? Fan friendly? Hmmm. Interesting concept.

It would be nice, but honestly they have no incentive, manpower or time to film, edit and post the practices for a half dozen fans. Unless, it is tied in with some sort of mass communcations "laboratory" training.... hmmmm... If I were a student there I'd be all over that. It would be a good training exercise.

It would be on the official website, which is open to everyone. Advertise it to the public. Invite them to tune in to some practices.
They could become familiar with the kids, and might decide they want to attend a game or two. Couldn't hurt to experiment with it.

Courtney Jackson is one of those guys that seems like he has been around for about 8 years.

Outside of his horrible FT shooting, he has been one of our more consistent performers over his career. I hope he gets to finish healthy.

I have always liked the way Courtney plays, just wished his FT shooting was better. Wished he could play full time at the 4 instead of having to fill in at 5 also.

It would be a real shame if finally we have some height so he doesn't have to play out of position, and he can't play.
