D-League Player Profiles: Kurt Looby
Due to some technical difficulties, Jon L couldn't make it into the RU office's today. He was able to send me this profile, though, so I figured I better get it up. I'm running out of things to say in these intros. This being Ridiculous Upside, that can only mean one thing: Wrestling videos! Oh...
D-League Draft In Review, 2008 Edition
Yesterday, Jon L had a great comment when I posted the first pick of my re-draft: That's actually a tricky variable to the draft that speaks to the sort of limbo many D-League teams find themselves in - it's true they already have seven players before the draft, but should they roll the dice...
Kurt Looby, Walker Russell Jr. are good at basketball
Kurt Looby has been under the radar for the majority of the season here at Ridiculous Upside. Walker Russell hasn't been given the love he deserves from myself (though Jon L and Ben Renz both love him). Both players have proven that they deserve a lot more credit than what I've given them after...
Even Without Weems, 14ers' Ferocious
I had plans to enjoy a night in, curled up by the laptop, drinking a Dasani, and watching Josh Davis go to work - typical guy stuff. Unfortunately, the Iowa futurecast, as usual, got in my way. I was able to watch about half the game, reloading my browser constantly so that I could keep up with...
JamesOn Curry, His Afro, and the night that was in the D-League
Last night Iowa won a close game, 109-107 over the division rival Fort Wayne Mad Ants. I think. President Reed, President Potter: I think we're going to have to look at instant replay in the D-League. Some sort of instant-archive system at least. JamesOn Curry And His Afro was thrown a...
Tyson Chandler Out - Could a D-Leaguer Be In?
I posed a question to the SBNation Hornets blog, At The Hive, last night on Twitter, wondering if the recent injuries to Tyson Chandler and Hilton Armstrong (possibly - left game early with the 19th Hornets ankle injury this season) could mean possible D-League replacements would be a topic worth...
Not again! Rick Kamla does show about top 10 D-League Prospects
I'm working on a bigger post for later today and I had a bit of a game thread going for last night's lone D-League game, plus I thought you may want to read a bit more about my impending death with the blizzard/flood of 2009 creeping closer to myself, so this morning, I'll just break down the work...
Smorgasbord of D-League
Like an iPod shuffle, we're going random this morning. Boom. Roasted? First, in regards to yesterday's call-up rankings, I wouldn't switch it up. Josh Davis is top 5. Derrick Byars is good and will probably get a look, but not before my next rankings (which could come soon with the new talent...
A Brick House
New power rankings were put up yesterday. The Jam are back at the #1 spot, edging out Idaho. I still don't think the Jam are as good as they are being touted as (is tout the right word? It's a terrible word in the first place. "Tout" Come on. Who came up with that one?). Iowa is at number three,...
