Post-Sonics Watch
Feeling lost without your Seattle SuperSonics? Seattle-area NBA fans face their first season without an NBA team in 41 years. Primarily, our coverage here will focus on the City of Seattle’s attempt to bring the NBA back to Seattle. But we also will provide updates on the Portland Trail Blazers, the Oklahoma City Thunder and area players plying their trade for other teams in the NBA.

Eric Williams covered the Sonics' last season in Seattle. A Tacoma native, Eric graduated from Mount Tahoma High and the University of Puget Sound.

Keeping an eye on the NBA and Seattle's efforts to get back into the game
Tuesday, February 12th, 2008

In today’s story I posed this question: Does Johan Petro have a future as Seattle’s starting center?

Just going on a small sampling from Petro’s last 10 games, he makes a case for getting more time at the center spot, averaging eight points, five rebounds and 1.5 blocks a contest, playing about 16 minutes a game.

Petro has provided a nice defensive presence inside for Seattle. He still is not as capable a defensive rebounder as veteran Kurt Thomas, but could be stronger with the ball inside. But in the battle of young centers, including Robert Swift and Mouhamed Sene, Petro seems to have moved out front.

What are your thoughts? Do you think Petro can man the middle for Seattle? Or do you want to see how Swift and Sene play the rest of the season before making a decision?

Mickael Gelabale scored 24 points, shooting 11-of-15 from the floor in his last game with the Idaho Stampede. I’m hoping Gelabale is at practice today so we get a chance to talk to him about his experience in the D-League.

Here’s Gelabale’s final stats in Idaho.
