Finally, we have someone on our team getting some recognition. He didn't make the rookie game but made the all rookie team. Great job Al
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!

He certainly deserved it, he played fantastic. Im surprised though that Young did not garner a lot of attention, I was worried he would steal a lot of attention away from him. Though its always nice to see any Clipper player get some props they deserve.
Jazz: Under reconstruction, we'll be back.

I wonder if it really was Woody that voted Durant to the 2nd team.

You guys made out pretty well yourselves with Stuckey. He, Thornton & Thad Young could have teams wishing they could do that draft over a couple years from now.
