this is news (I snipped some) from espn insider

===================

Sonics: A year after being devastated when he was passed over 59 times
in the NBA draft, former UCLA star JaRon Rush is on the rebound. Rush
reportedly had a drinking problem that caused his stock to plummet
from mid first rounder to out of the draft. Rush went to a clinic, got
sober and has gotten into the best shape of his life. The Sonics have
signed him to play on their summer league team, giving Rush a second
chance to make an impact in the NBA.


Grizzlies: The Grizzlies like what they've seen of second-round pick
Will Soloman. Prior to the draft, the 6-1, 185-pound Solomon was the
highest rated point guard on the Grizzlies' list. So when he was
available at No. 33, they snatched him. "At the Chicago predraft camp,
no one could get by Will defensively," Said Tony Barone, the
Grizzlies' director of player personnel. "He locked up every single
point guard in the camp. "While he's not finished developing point
guard skills because he didn't have to play in that frame of mind at
Clemson, he's got a lot of great qualities. He's got long arms, he's
fearless going to the basket, he can dunk with ease and he knows how
to direct an offense. He did it out here right away."
