Here's Mike Sweetney in this season's training camp with the Boston Celtics.
I saw this guy when he was at Georgetown years ago when I was a beat writer for The Dominion Post in Morgantown, W.Va.
Big wide body. Space eater. Score a ton (seventh on Georgetown’s all-time career scoring list at 1,750 points).
Michael Sweetney was an effective college player, but after being the ninth overall pick in the 2003 NBA Draft by the New York Knicks, his pro career fizzled. Sweetney only averaged 6.5 points and 4.5 boards in 233 games and with two teams in the Knicks and the Chicago Bulls.
Now he’s going to attempt to rekindle his career in the D-League.
Hmmmm.
The BayHawks are filling the roster void left by rookie point guard Cedric Jackson, who signed a 10-day contract with the San Antonio Spurs earlier this week.
Since All-Star point guard Tony Parker will be out six weeks with a broken right hand for the Spurs, San Antonio will likely keep Jackson for at least two 10-day contracts and might keep him for the remainder of the season.
