Photos from last night's practice at SPU

Front-row seats, and I was able to smuggle in my large lens
(unfortunately there wasn't a lot of light):

I was most impressed with Delonte West, he was all over the place,
pushing the ball, driving to the lane, and shooting from the outside.
Durant and Green both played well, Ridnour was getting to the hoop, and
Swift was moving around better than I thought he would at this stage.

If the practice is any indication, they will be running the ball (they
had several fast break drills during practice and were pushing it hard
during the scrimmage).

Kurt Thomas and Wally Z were injured.

With a healthy roster, this team does have some decent depth (except at
center, I'm not that impressed with Petro or Sene).

I think they'll exceed expectations this year, I would not be surprised
if they matched last year's record.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I agree on Petro and Sene. Petro doesn't rebound or play defense.
I haven't seen much of Sene, and I hope to keep it that way. He is so
not ready for the NBA. It's my understanding he didn't start playing
b-ball until he was 16. Put him in the development league. Now if we
can just keep Swifty healthy! He is the one of our 7 footers who I
see real potential in. I still expect Collison will probably play
alot of center, and Kurt Thomas too.
