So, Who Wants Our MLE?
July 9, 2008Un. Real.
July 9, 2008Hey! Remember this guy!? Apparently, he’s been hanging out in Memphis.
First off Randolph Morris and Luke Jacksonwere both at the workouts today. They are not going to be part of the Las Vegas team barring injury. Both players wanted to show the coaching staff how they are playing. I didn’t get to talk to Morris (he was still shooting when I had to leave) but Jackson told me he hopes to be back tomorrow because he feels he is a good fit on the team and would like to be invited back to training camp. As a former top 10 lottery pick, Jackson has struggled in his career but he showed today he can still hit the long ball when open. I don’t know if he will be invited to training camp however.
Props to Jackson for speaking with a blogger. Boos and Browns game bottle tosses all around for amounting to next to nothing for the Cavaliers. What’s worse? Trading away picks for the Jiri Welchs of the world, or keeping them and drafting this sort of nonsense?

Woah, Luke Jackson. I feel like I just ran into someone I went to high school with that I haven’t even thought of since commencement.
precisely the same feeling I had when I saw Chip’s post
Whenever I think of Luke Jackson, I think back to the ’04 draft when Philly took Iguodala at #9 and we took Jackson at #10. Then Dick Vitale came on the screen and said, “Come back to me in five years, and I guarantee you that Luke Jackson will be a better pro than Andre Iguodala.”
Iggy’s about to get maxed out while Luke the Fluke is floundering around in summer league.
Wow. Dick Vitale. Just…wow.
Oh, and on another note:
I own a hat like the one that Fluke is wearing in that pick. Just thought I’d throw that out there.
I don’t mean to piss in ya’lls pool or anything, but I’m an Oregon alum and I was there for a Luke-Jackson-40-point-game. Thing about Luke-Jackson-40-point-games is that they happened, and that they happened against solid competition. I know he went and injured himself, and I understand that it smarts, but the dude made it rain in college. Like, how else are you supposed to pick a shooter in the draft?
That was stinking hilarious!
