well Nene is the clear cut #1 PF in the NBA

i'm just saying that if people think Tracy has a spot on an NBA roster, they have see it through the eyes of a GM

i doubt any GM in the association sees Tracy competing against the likes of Durant, Howard and Gasol

5/6/2010 9:02:26 PM

^^ lol...

And no, Tracy likely won't play in the NBA, but who was arguing otherwise?

5/6/2010 9:03:12 PM

He would dominate those guys

5/6/2010 9:03:29 PM

If you were a GM, would you take Tracy Smith over Curtis Withers (in the NBADL)?

Also, I don't think Painter will see a ton of minutes, at least not to start the season. Word on the street is that Lowe is still furious about when he faked the funk on a nasty dunk in practice last year. Also, there are rumblings that he can't read, which makes it difficult for him to tell who is on his team, let alone find the right arena on gameday.

5/6/2010 9:05:03 PM

^^especially Howard

Stephen Jackson and Gerald Wallace get all their shots blocked by him, but not Tracy...he would just elevate over him...Dwight dunked on a 12' goal during a dunk contest...Tracy could probably dunk on a 14' goal

5/6/2010 9:05:19 PM

I imagine if Tracy has a good year he'll get a shot in the late second round or at least get some looks as an undrafted FA in summer league. He'll probably bounce around the NBADL or in Europe for a while though. Nothing wrong with that.

Wood does everything well, nothing poorly, but doesn't do anything exceptionally well right now - even shooting (he's very streaky). Till he does one or two things at the elite level he has no chance at being in the NBA.

5/6/2010 9:06:02 PM

Tracy is the lovechild of David Thompson and a female David Thompson

5/6/2010 9:06:10 PM

i think Painter is going to be a beast

and i will start wearing painter caps to the games. it will be all the rage. and i will get full credit for it. you heard it here first, folks. wear painters caps to State games. ncstatetke invented this great idea. expect a thread when the season starts. caps are 97 cents at Home Depot

5/6/2010 9:08:41 PM

it's not a terrible idea.

5/6/2010 9:10:25 PM

since we have an affiliation with Home Depot, we could probably get them to donate them

i'll call somebody in the regional office and see what they think

5/6/2010 9:12:19 PM

you should also buy paint and paint your painter hats

and whenever painter scores from the paint home depot can donate to our scholarship fund!

5/6/2010 9:13:24 PM

great things happen when minds work together

5/6/2010 9:14:20 PM

at this point wearing painter caps is like buying a tebow jersey

he aint done shit

although i hope he does (painter)

5/6/2010 9:14:23 PM

every time Deshawn jams a tip-in rebound, we can call them Painted Bricks

5/6/2010 9:16:47 PM

how bout we start recruiting really really really shitty players, maybe mentally challenged people...then when we go 2/89 from the field one game, we can get the brickyard torn up and then relaid 87 times

5/6/2010 9:19:43 PM

lololol. over the course of the season we could build 2 new dh hills(bricks for bricks)!

i lold a lot.

also, why are people saying tracy won't play in the NBA? will he be an all-star? no. but if josh powell has a spot on a championship team, i think tracy could find one too. especially once he develops a jumper (either this year in college or in a year or two in the NBADL or Europe).

5/6/2010 9:37:49 PM

Josh Powell is 6'9, Tracy is closer to 6'7. Powell's much more athletic than Herb's system made it seem

5/6/2010 9:40:46 PM

yeah I would like to agree with you ohmy but Powell just has better size/athleticism

I love Tracy, he's a great player for us, and if he was 4 inches taller, he might be an All American

but he's not

at the same time though, i never thought Boozer would be the player he is...I thought he was undersized...if Tracy has the work ethic, theres no reason he can't play in the NBA some day

Adam Simons was unathletic

5/6/2010 9:58:39 PM

lol, Didnt he play in only 1 game the entire year he was here?

love the comments section after that article

apparently Mabry is the ringleader of the Rocky Mount Crips

5/7/2010 12:24:19 AM

I sincerely hope Mabry was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and will learn to pick his friends better. He could have had his whole life ruined by that one event.

5/7/2010 12:33:07 AM

It's fucking Rocky Mount. No matter where you go you have a great chance at being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Kinston, Rocky Mount, and Gastonia should be banished to the state of South Carolina in exchange for Charleston and Hilton Head.

5/7/2010 12:36:56 AM

gastonia is one of my least favorite cities

yes:

2. I made the Sendek page
3. I made the Amato page

I am also SOLELY responsible for the following NC State general info on that site:

Also, Joe Hester is the guy to see in Rocky Mount, that guy will get you off of anything. He has gotten me out of numerous speeding tickets, my friends out of tickets and assault charges, as well as my friends dad off a DWI. The dude is famous around rocky mount for getting people off of basically anything.

""North Carolina State has a very strong program," said Noreen's coach. "They were the first ACC school to recruit Kevin... all the way back in the ninth grade. Coach Towe was recruiting him for NC State and coach Lowe has been up to see Kevin play. "That is a school that would be especially interesting to Kevin because he has a good relationship with both coach Lowe and coach Towe. They've also done a very good job of landing strong recruiting classes and that has caught Kevin's attention as well." "
