Good lord, world traveler deluxe. Check out his profile and teams that he's played for the last three years. He's gotta have an interesting passport.

As stated earler, hope he gets it together and is successful. Good luck Major.

Yeah I think he failed a record number of drug tests at UT. Wish him good though. It's a shame he got kicked out for something that is absolutely harmless and should be legal.

Heyyyy!!!!!! My cousin's husband gets drafted in the sixth round by Erie! Nice player too, big man with a good skill set. I'm hoping this leads to a deal in Europe for him.

If Wingate comes back stateside to play in a league where he'll make 19K, he's even more out to lunch than I've assumed.

I will say this. He played some good defense, and i'm curious to see what would have happened had he not been a screw-up. We could put Dane at PG and have four posts to play, would have been interesting.

Ramar Smith is Jason Kidd compared to Dane Badshot.

um, no. Dane wasn't that good period, and he's overrated b/c he's white and he hustled, but he was a smart decision maker and could get us into the offense. I'm not saying he would have been a great option, but i'd rather him play the PG over Ramar Smith than the 4 with Ramar Smith at point.

Completely agree... I've actually smoked w major a few times while we were still students at UT. He used to date my ex-gf's old roomate. He's a cool kid but for some reason he never changes out of his pajama pants which is kinda strange... Glad to see he got drafted though!

I would have wanted him on the bench. He hustled, but everyone hyped him up as if he was going straight to the league. He was scrappy, but didn't have any defense at all.

If he could have played point guard, he would have. He tried for the first two years of his UT career and was an utter joke.

b/c Dane was so much better at the 4? I think we can both agree that he wasn't that good to be starting for us period, but had too. I think in Bruce's system he would have had better luck at PG than under Buzz.
