Around SBN: Raiders' GM Begins The Purge

Sacramento Kings Scout at the game last night

This probably happens every game. But I still felt like making a diary of what I noticed.

I got ahold of some tickets last night from Pepsi through work. I sat in Section 102, Row 8 and I was in seat 13. I was behind the Grizzlies bench.

This guy had a media card pinned up on his chest that said his name(which I can't remember) and that he was a Sacramento Kings scout.

He was sitting in my row and he was in seat like 4 or 5.

Now I didn't pay attention to what he was doing all game because I was to busy enjoying the game. But I did notice this.

EVERY and I mean EVERY single Memphis timeout he watched that huddle like a hawk. I watched him during one timeout and he didn't blink once. Their Memphis coach would get his chair and sit down in it and face it towards the crowd and would draw up plays on his white board. From where I was sitting I couldn't see the exact plays, but I was able to see his movements with his pen, and I could read his lips. After the coach would get up or stop talking with the players the scout would jot some notes on his paper. Now during timeouts where the Memphis Grizzlies were not drawing up plays or what not the scout would pay attention to whatever timeout activities were going on, like shirt throwing or cheerleaders or whatever.

I noticed that he jotted down notes more so then others on these three players. (Again it could be purely coincidental because I wasn't watching him the entire game)

But I saw him write up on

Kyle Lowry
Hakim Warrick
Andris Biedrins

I wish I could have gotten some info out of scout. If he was looking for potential players to acquire or just scouting for this/next year or what.

actually, it's two things - re Nelson & Baron
- and can't argue reasonable with either point

He probably wasted some time and space on
writing up on Warrick, sorry Hakim.

Thank someone he wasn't writing up one of the Warriors best kept secrets, Azubuike, unless he did all the write up last season.
