First Clipper to make this squad since D-Miles...I have a feeling Juice's career will turn out to be a tad more prosperous 
Git 'em Big Al!!

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.

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

Trade him to the Pistons for Stuckey and Maxiell, pleeeaaaase. We were one pick away you bastards!

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.
