Was watching “Spirited” with my 11-year-old and when we got to the end credits it turns out Loren Woods played the Ghost of Christmas Future (voiced by Tracey Morgan).

Aaron Gordon got bit in the face and (shooting) hand by a dog on Christmas and is out indefinitely. Apparently he needed 21 stitches.

TJ, part of an UA team full of NBAers except for the one slow short white boy guard transfer from Duquesne.

TJ will be eligible for Ring of Honor next year, I believe.

One criteria for automatic entry into Arizona's Ring of Honor is a 10-year career in a major professional league.

That game still haunts me - remember I was watching it at a bar in Bay Area on a business trip. Went to that E8 game vs Wisc and was brutal to watch Kaminsky run all over us when BAsh would have been a great cover for him vs Zeus

I can't believe it. But should've seen it coming when in HS he started dropping in the rankings from #1 player because he was lazy and took plays off. Guys like Bagley, Porter, and even Bamba were passing him.

Any effort and care seem to have gone when he finally got his contract. Such a disappointing career he'll have. Right now he's getting clowned left and right from the national media, and rightfully so.
People are still pissed. Maybe he will come out like Bison Dele and say he never really liked the game.

Gabe York had one of my favorite plays as an Arizona fan that I saw as it was unfolding, the put back on a free throw miss against a really good Utah team with Delon Wright, that made me jump off of the couch and scream and wake everybody up at my wife's cousins house when she had toddlers. It was awesome. I could be wrong but that felt like the dagger. Good for him, hope he's doing well.

I think Benn is starting to figure it out. He didn’t adjust when the rest of the league started keying on him in the second half of last year but now he’s getting smarter and less singleminded as far as getting his shots up outside the flow of the offense. It’s gotta be tough going from the primary focus in college to being the 4th or 5th option in the NBA, but he’s adjusting.
