Good game for Hilton Armstrong

[joober jones]

He got the start tonight (MJ wanted to rest his starters going into the playoffs) and put up a double-double with 10 pts and 10 rebounds, with a couple of assists and blocks thrown in for good measure. Notable is the fact that Denver did play their starters, so this was against legitimate competition.

Hilton is stringing together a very Ollie-esque career. He is in his 9th year and on his 7th team.

....I hear what you are saying, but Hilton was drafted and is quite tall...Ollie amazes me, because he really didn't get a true look until he had been playing games at j. law high school for the ct pride for a few years post graduation. I feel it is much harder for an undrafted guy to work themselves INTO the league as opposed to someone who was drafted (and is very tall) to keep getting second chances. I think mr adrein (sp?) is the next Ollie....hopefully both guys collect paychecks for a while....go nba huskies!

No one is taking anything away from Ollie. Just noting the comparison.

The length of time UCONN's players spends in the league is second to none. JC breaths fire into them and it takes a long time to burn out.

Unfortunately yes, yes it has been

It's actually his 8th professional year and 6th NBA team.
