Not sure if this has been posted yet:
the first of his trading cards are coming out also…
I thought someone came on here back in the summer and stated Eddie would probably not make the Bulls. Most of us knew better. Maybe the person that said that was just doing some wishful thinking out loud.
I know Eddie is playing in all of the exhibition games and stuff, but has he actually made the team yet? I don’t know my NBA rules.
yes he has made the team from what i understand and they made a 2 year contract with him. I just don’t know the ammount of money that he is getting.

Doubt he will, but there is a chance.

Practice squad?The NBA changed the rules about the IR this year. A team can keep 15 players and dress only 12 per game. It is kind of like hockey now, you can dress any 12 a night and not have to worry about putting them on the injured list for a certain amount of time.
Eddie may not dress for every game or have to go to the NBADL, these are the worst case scenarios.
I see Eddie sticking on the 12 man roster for most games because he is the only “big” defensive guard that they have.
I love this quote from Skiles:
[b]"He's got size," Skiles said. "All the teams keep drafting younger and younger players. It's becoming more and more rare that you get a guy from college who has an NBA body and NBA athleticism. Eddie has that already, which is a big advantage for him. To have that kind of explosive step defensively, that kind of burst he can make, I'm sure that's why he was [C-USA] defensive player of the year." [/b]
Says a lot about Eddie and his development at Charlotte.

Hahahaha, that’s what I meant. I was thinking about the NFL. It was 7 am, though. Does that get me some slack?

3 points and 3 fouls in 8 min (least amount on the team). really needs to learn that D is a foul in the NBA.
I wish they didn’t have the name on that wallpaper, that name looks cheezy on it.
Nice line from Eddie last night. 13 min, 5 pts (2-2 FG, 1-1 3 pt), 5 reb, 1, ast, 2 fouls.
I believe that was the last preseason game. The Bulls open the regular season agains tthe Boobcats next Wednesday.
Eddie’s preseason averages:
8 games
14.9 minutes
.435 FG%
.500 3pt%
.455 FT% :ph34r:
2.90 reb
1.1 apg
1.0 spg
.25 bpg
.88 TO
2.50 PF
4.0 ppg
Needs to work on free throws and not fouling as much. Should be a solid player for the bulls though.
