    He is averaging 23.0 points and 15.3 rebounds while shooting 75.0 percent (27-of-36) from the field during the week to help the Sonics win 4 straight.Those numbers are amazing. He actually won Player of the week honors this week.Do you guys think he will keep this up?

    Too be honest, I never really thought he'd avg numbers like that over any year, especially not this one.

    I honestly think he can't keep that up, bc no one can. he'll have to cool down sooner or later. But wow, he's playing great. good for him and the sonics.

    Well you can say Seatle got the best of the deal. Radmonovic hasn't done much for LA. Those are moster numbers that a lot of big men don't average these days.

    You know what's funny how BCB is high on this guy, but for others he says their playing well because it's their contract year. Anyone think this guy is playing for a contract, just throwing it out there.

    i don't know if it's bc of a contract, tho that may play a part. He fits so much better is Seattle.-He can run in seattle.-He doesn't have any maquee big men ahead of him in th3 rotation.-He has plenty of shooters to help open up the lane in Seattle.

    15-8 at best. No way he'll keep this up.Aslong as Ray, Shard, Watson and Ridnour are jackin em up from the outside and he hits the offensive glass, he'll put up some decent numbers.

    Holy <Censored>. This guy is just exploding. Maybe a change of scenery really helped. Either way, he is shooting an enormous percentage and helping them on defense (They are the worst in the League at D).I can see a paycheck coming his way (from the Sonics). He's the type of player the need.

This guy can't shoot a ball into a swimming pool from thirty feet away! But he and Watson make good passes to Wilcox often, which contributes to much of Wilcox's success. But the rebounding he does is incredible. He's a fan favorite, too. With him (the finisher), the shooters (Allen, Rashard, occasionally Wilkens), and the passers (Watson, Ridnour) all working in harmony, we're on a winning streak, and I expect next season to be one like our last playoff-qualifying season.

    People figure White PG = Good 3pt shooter. With Wilcox you have to wonder what his motovation is, was it finally getting PT or is it his contract year?

    Nets have been eying this guy for two years now. Theyve been trying to pry him away from the Clippers to no avail, I guess they didnt have what the Clippers desired..Hes going to get a big contract by way of free agency, and its good to see him be succesfull stepping out of the shadow of Elton Brand..

I read somewhere hes going to sign a short term contract because he wants to prove this wasnt a fluke and reel in a big contract a year or two from now..I think PT has obviously helped him, but similar to Mike James, that insentive of the contract talks coming up cant hurt..

    Sorry. My mistake.You are right about Ridnour. It is definately a stereotype that white players can just shoot 3's.Ridnour shoots at 27%
