I know you have probably been trying to call your agent all morning. That is strange that he hasn't been returning your calls. I'm sure there is a logical explanation-it is Friday you know-he's probably just golfing with some of his buddies. I wouldn't worry about it to much-unless you look back at the three biggest games of your season so far.......

Courtney Fells COMBINED game totals for MSU, UNC, and Duke

83 Minutes played (~28 per game)
7-26 (27%) from the field
17 points (16 of which were scored in the UNC game)
2-13 (15%) from 3 point land
5 Rebounds
3 Assists
4 Steals (not bad)
3 Blocks (not bad)

Like I said, he's probably just golfing or hanging out with his kids or something. Keep calling-be persistent!!! If all else fails, just declare yourself eligible for the draft and forget the agent..... I'm sure someone (in New Zealand or Tasmania) would love to have you on the roster.

uhh, did you see his block last night, where he straight up grabbed the ball and threw it down the court for a fastbreak dunk

Or how bout the missed dunk in the first half where he jumped from the 3 point line

Or the missed dunk in the second half where mclure hacked the shit out of him

3 of the most athletic plays in the whole game, he's going to play at the next level, and could do it next year

If you're reading this courtney, you're bad ass and should go to the nba, state sucks and is going to continue to suck

2/1/2008 11:49:08 AM

fells has made sportscenter's top 10 more times than i can count

2/1/2008 11:52:22 AM

I don't care how good/bad Fells is (And I think he's very good, for the record)

He's my favorite player just becuase of the picture with him in the UNC huddle


Post plz.

2/1/2008 12:07:27 PM

I think he's very good and has a ton of potential as well. This thread was created for those who actually think he has a chance in the NBA after this year and his performance in big games-Scouts could give a shit about Sportscenter. I'd love to see him go off more than anyone else....

[Edited on February 1, 2008 at 12:14 PM. Reason : .]

2/1/2008 12:12:48 PM

he'd already be in the NBA if he weren't slowed down by Herb for 2 years

2/1/2008 12:16:13 PM

oh he's going to the nba next year. believe it.

2/1/2008 12:27:30 PM

Fells is my favorite player.

Please don't leave, Fells

2/1/2008 12:28:47 PM

what did that block get on the Sportscenter Top 10? cause that shit was nasty

I've seen Barkley do similar block/rebound moves, but they always involved him cupping the ball in his arm, not just straight palm beasting it away from somebody

2/1/2008 12:30:03 PM

LOL if Fells is leaving it must be a very weak draft year.

I'm not familiar with this. What's the story?

2/1/2008 12:31:52 PM

(Agent finally answers phone): Yeah, I saw your block on SC last night but didn't catch the box score. What'd you end up with offensively???

(Fells): Uh....Ummmmm......Uhhhhhhhhh

2/1/2008 12:35:31 PM

"I saw you brick some dunks as well"

If the top 10 guards from just the state of NC entered the draft this year, where would Fells be in that mix??? I'm gonna go with #4 and that is generous.

2/1/2008 12:43:20 PM

if anybody hasn't seen the block (which was indeed nasty) it's on the espn recap video

http://scores.espn.go.com/ncb/recap?gameId=280310150

2/1/2008 12:45:02 PM

yeah, watch that video, about 30 seconds after they show block, Fells gets hit in the face with the ball and juked by two white guys.

2/1/2008 12:51:41 PM

juked means face to face competition where the offensive player puts so much of a move on the defensive player that he doesnt have enough athleticism to stop him

courtney wasnt juked, it was a bad pass from marques/javi (they both look a like on raycom) to hit him in the face, then he was trailing on defense, and any half wit could've gotten the assist that paulus got, sure he threw it behind his head to look pretty, the window was open for many possibilities in that scenario to be creative...he didn't get juked...amare stoudamire couldn't have defended that fast break

2/1/2008 2:10:18 PM

any pass that hits you in the face is not a bad pass. he should've been paying attention.

When we beat UNC last year, after a foul the UNC players had huddled up near the end of the game.

Well, they didn't realize Fell's was in there with them (well, kinda... he was kind of 'over the back' of someone, but his arms were over the UNC players)

Anywho... he's got this ear-to-ear super cheesy smile on his face basically making fun of the UNC players.

I dunno, I laughed my arse off when I saw it, though. Someone's gotta have it on here

have you not noticed that javi/marques have been very uncomfortable running the point all year, especially when they get double teamed... they panic and don't know what to do... ex. last night when he threw the ball at courtney's face

javi/marques have been throwing horrible passes all season long

2/1/2008 2:50:01 PM

so are we just going to have a thread for every player on the team before the end of the year???

players have bad games. fells is obviously a perimeter player and doesnt fare well against teams with good perimeter D. He plays good D and hustles. He went from being one of the worst players i had seen defensively, to one of the best.

2/1/2008 3:06:05 PM

i've come to appreciate his defense more and more. he's easily one of our best defenders now.

2/1/2008 3:15:59 PM

some players peak in college, Fells will peak in the pros

2/1/2008 3:16:26 PM

costner and someone else next to him are also behind the huddle with fells

[Edited on February 1, 2008 at 3:38 PM. Reason : fells]

2/1/2008 3:37:41 PM

awesome

2/1/2008 3:38:44 PM

Yah, that's it

haha

gg Fells

2/1/2008 3:41:26 PM

If I remember correctly, Fells stole the inbounds pass following that huddle.

2/1/2008 3:46:19 PM

hes got josh powell disease

2/1/2008 3:49:06 PM

wow - I am completely against Fells going pro, and he should be too if he doesn't want to end up like Hodge, Powell or Simmons (even though he is a different type of player than all three)

Guess how many points he put up against fucking NC Central. That'd be ZERO. Also had a zero against MSU. He scored 3, 2, & 1 against New Orleans, S. Carolina & Duke, respectively. Are those the types of numbers the pros get excited about? Obviously they get juiced over his athleticism and his shot.

the point is, he has a lot to work on and while he does have potential pro talent, he needs to put a lot more work into his game before he even thinks about NBA playing time.

2/1/2008 4:27:12 PM

Wait, why do people think Fells is going to declare?

2/2/2008 12:20:12 AM

Because rumors run rampant on the serious internet.

so serious.

2/2/2008 1:28:36 AM

lol, it should be noted that (i think) most of these "rumors" are just me saying that i think he's going pro.

but i do think he's going pro.

2/2/2008 1:36:49 AM

depends on how the rest of the year goes versus what sid can do to talk him out of it...

2/2/2008 1:40:09 AM

what do you mean "talk him out of it"? he's not even thinking about

2/2/2008 3:41:53 AM

if he doesnt want to end up like hodge? hodge stayed all 4 years and then got shot in denver...
