NBA c areer

Develop-Mental league

NBAcareer asked:
Now which NBA team is Plaistaid playing for?
When will these guys learn to stay in school unless they have a shot at a top 5 draft position...
Unsighned by the pistons I believe?
He should still be at the Y

UNLV

You are are playing for 2nd place

The same one

Neville will be playing for!

GO YEWTS!!!!

NCAA Tournament?? We hope we can make it to the NIT!

Um....

don't they always say this is the best year? It's all PR, the WAC is a superior conference with better teams, better players, and better coaching. Football may be the MWC's calling card, but their basketball is second rate.

Plaistaid

Last I heard he had been asked to go and play in Europe for a year, but I am not sure where I heard that.

FDNMAN

Plaisted was drafted by the Pistons and sent to the developmental league in Europe...he knew that when they drafted him.

He had graduated and he and his wife had no desire to continue the college life.

I wish him luck.

Re: UNLV

Someone's not getting enough love at home. I mean, who peruses a Salt Lake paper waiting for any mention at all about UNLV so he can post some lame comment? Sad. Sad indeed.

Re: UNLV

Yeah, we'll see about that. Don't get me wrong, the Rebels have a strong team, but games are played on the hardwood and not on paper.

Idahoan

The WAC better in basketball? Any one else care to opine?

WAC vs. Mountain West

To the gentleman who called the WAC a "superior conference": Keep telling yourself that buddy. Look at the head to head records of the Mountain West vs. the WAC in recent years before you comment. Also, the WAC will be lucky to win two games against its Mountain West foes this year. The WAC is a one bid league. The Mountain West will get four teams into the NCAA Tournament and regularly gets three. Before you make comments, do some research. You have no argument and you are just another ignorant fan of a second rate conference who wishes his team was in the Mountain West Conference.

2 things

I'm looking to the Cougars to actually win in the postseason.

The need to move the tourny. Rotate it through the schools or something but get it out of Vegas.

Re: FDNMAN

Uhh...correction...Plaisted was drafted by the then Seattle Supersonics (now the Oklahoma City Thunder) and then traded to the Pistons. He's playing in Italy but the Pistons still retain his rights for two years. It's been reported that for him to make it in the NBA he needs to improve his jump shot and face-up game.

UNLV

Superior at every position. Our defense is like none other in the league. Now we have a 7 foot shot blocker in the middle. No chance for anyone else to win the conference.

UNLV

OH I didn't know that BYU was located in Salt Lake City. Thanks for the knew info.

UNLV

We wish Plaisted would have stayed another year. Joe Darger at 6' 6" had no problem shutting him down. Plaisted was the best player on our team. Sorry to see him go.

WAC superior

yes the WAC is a superior conference, Utah State will beat both Utah and BYU so are you telling me nobody else will beat a mighty mtn west team? LOL, good one. The WAC teams who make the tourney regulary show much better than the overrated teams from the mtn. west, do some research, look it up, and then when you actually figure out the math (unless you graduated from the U, then have your work friend at the gas station help you) you'll see the winning % of WAC teams is higher. The mtn. west gets the press which is the only reason why they send more teams to the NCAA, but regularly lose to WAC teams and always choke in big games. You must be proud of yourself for pretending to have done research and then called someone else out. Ignorance must be bliss eh buddy?
