<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">PHOENIX - Former Arizona Wildcat Salim Stoudamire is realistic about his chances in next week's NBA draft. He understands the questions. Will he be drafted? Is he no longer the surly, tough-to-deal-with type, a reputation that followed him during his days at Arizona like a dogged defender? Can he stay healthy through an 82-game schedule? That's what he's dealt with through the courting process that is the predraft drill for prospective NBA players. Stoudamire is doing his part to make an impression on teams that might deem him worthy. He's worked out for 10 NBA teams, with Houston making it No. 11 today and New York on Sunday. Where he will land is anyone's guess. "It's just like the lottery, and I'm the ball," Stoudamire said yesterday after a 90-minute workout with the Phoenix Suns.</div> Source
