    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Sonics' roster is expected to be released in a few days, but barring a last-minute reversal, they will begin Tuesday's training camp with 20 players.

    Along with the 12 players on the payroll, Seattle has extended nonguaranteed contracts to guards Mike Wilks, rookie Denham Brown, Milt Palacio, Kareem Rush and Desmond Farmer, and forwards Noel Felix, Ron Mercer and Kenny Adeleke.

    Wilks, acquired in a February trade that sent Ronald Murray to Cleveland, and Felix are holdovers from last season.

    Palacio, a seven-year veteran who played with Utah last season as a reserve, was unable to secure a guaranteed deal, and a league source said he's still being pursued by a couple of teams. Rush, a four-year veteran, spent the past season in Charlotte, while Mercer and Farmer were out of the NBA last season. Adeleke was not selected in this year's draft after spending a year at Hartford and three seasons at Hofstra.

    The Sonics will likely keep 14 players for the regular season, one shy of the maximum.</div>

    I don't expect anyone outside of Felix and Rush to stick in camp. Felix has done well for them and shows some promise as a project, while Rush has the length and experience to give him the edge backing up the 2 spot.

    Yeah, I would like to see Rush make the roster as well. We need someone off the bench who can shoot.

    He's been sitting out with a groin injury. Wilks is getting nice reviews and Palacio is overweight.

    Lots of positive on the bigs.
