Don’t know if this was posted yet…
This looks like a different story. I liked this part:
Basden was the most decorated of the four players invited to the workout. The senior swingman was named the Conference USA Player of the Year. In addition, Basden was named to the All-C-USA first team and chosen as the league’s top defensive player, becoming the first Charlotte player to receive both honors in the same season.
“That was his MO at Charlotte, his defensive prowess,” said the Nets GM. “In the NBA he will be a defensive specialist.”
Actually, wasn’t he the first player in C-USA to get both awards?
If Eddie shoots it well in Chicago, he could really move up. Otherwise, he’ll be labeled a def specialist (AGAIN)…late second rounder.

Allie,
I respond too quickly.
The article doesn’t say he’s the 1st C-USA p
The article doesn’t say he’s the 1st C-USA player to get both awards. It says he’s the 1st Charlotte player to get both awards…At least they referred to us as CHARLOTTE

Didn’t K Mart get National POY and National Defensive POY?
I know for certain he got the 2000 Naismith Award…
GO Eddie.
Clippers, huh?
What are those guys doing going to the same workout together, some agent messed that scheduling up. I thought you are not suppose to workout where they can really compare your talent to a similar position guy.

[/b]Eddie is going to be a shooting guard and Garcia prob will be a small foward due to his length
Garcia hauls down a rebound over Basden
Is it just me, or is this caption full of crap?
How about Eddie goes over Garcia to steal a rebound?
POY jealousy. B)
any way to find out when Eddie will be with the Kings?

I’d love to see Eddie as a member of the Detroit Pistons. There, they stress a LOT of defense.

[/b]True, but maybe him being on the Mavs or somebody like that would be good too. Considering they don't play D, maybe he'd get a lot of PT!!
