So happy for AO!!!!!

[2-3zone]

I know JS made the Bobcats roster and that's great but AO has fought so hard to get to this point and its great to see his hard work payoff and I hope he has a great season down in NOLA

 

[Brian Orange]

Agreed. Very happy for Arinze. Hopefully he can stay healthy.

Arinze is one of my favorite all time Orangemen, but even before his injury I never thought he had a shot to make an NBA roster.

He deserves a ton of credit and is a great example of how hard work pays off. I wish I could put his brain in every SU player.

What a good big man coach he could be...

 

[PoppyHart]

He had more interior moves before he stepped on campus than any center ever ended up with since Etan.

 

[AlaskaSU]

He is NBA quick with the ball. If there is the slightest opening he begins drives as soon as he has possession. When his knees are working he has live legs but is he big enough to defend other bigs?

Oh you mean Derrick Thomas?

He was a great linebacker but not much of a hooper. You probably mean Dedrick Thomas.

That's wrong. It's Dedrick.

No, it's not. You're both right. Etan was recruited as Derrick and changed his name to Dedrick when he enrolled before finally settling on Etan.

His birth name was Dedrick. Derrick was merely a nickname.

Whatever. Doesn't change the fact that he went by all the names and you both were right.

His name could be Slappy Joe Douchenozzle Thomas and it wouldn't change the fact that it's awesome that AO made an NBA roster.

Let's keep our eye on the ball here, folks. Yeesh.

 

[SoBeCuse]

Xavier Henry emerging is going to keep Wes mostly on the bench unfortunately. Henry is making plays and putting the ball on the floor well. Wes is just standing behind the three point line. Same old.

I forgot that Etan did briefly go by Slappy Joe Douchenozzle somewhere between Derrick and Dedrick. Good memory jek. And bully for AO too.

That's possible. All I know is that Etan's GF used to have the nickname "exit wounds" if you know what I'm sayin.'
