The City of Seattle's expert witness on the Sonics economic impact in Seattle, Lon Hatamiya continued his testimony this morning.
Currently, attorney for the Sonics Paul Taylor, who did a good job at tearing down the city's other expert witness, Andrew Zimbalist, is hammering away at Hatamiya, but so far Hatamiya holding up OK.
With all of the stuff happening in court this week I failed to mention the players the Sonics will have for workouts at the Furtado Center this week.
The list is headed by Kansas product Brandon Rush, who put his name into the draft last year, but decided to take his name out before withdrawing his name. The move has paid dividends for Rush. We won a national title with the Jayhawks this season and has draft stock is up. Mock drafts have Rush going between 13th and 20th picks in the first round.
Rush is a 6-7 swingman who shoots well, is a good athlete and can defend. Rush could probably used some work on his ball handling skills. Others who will participate in workouts this week include James Mays of Clemson, Darnell Jackson of Kansas, Bryant Dunston of Fordham, Ohio State’s Othello Hunter, Rider’s Jason Thompson, Georgia Tech’s Jeremis Smith, Chris Douglas-Roberts of Memphis, Courtney Lee of Western Kentucky, Temple’s Mark Tyndale, Vanderbilt’s Shan Foster and Patrick Ewing Jr. of Georgetown.
Some rumors surrounding the draft include the Sonics potentially moving up in the draft and using Sonics forward Chris Wilcox in a potential deal to move up to the No. 2 overall pick to draft Michael Beasley. Read about that and other draft rumors here.
Chris Wilcox is running a camp for kids in his hometown of Whiteville, N.C. He also addresses his arrest on a concealed weapons charge two weeks ago in the local paper there.
