Sports Wrap Up By Stanton

Ed Stanton, has a nice story on the Bayoubuzz.com that covers the recent NBA draft picks by the New Orleans Hornets, and items on Pete Maravich, LSU Football, and Eli Manning. Check it out here. From the article:
From Jay Marotti in FanHouse.com: "Not much makes me cringe these days, but describing Ricky Rubio as the next Pistol Pete Maravich certainly is hard on the frown lines. So the Mane from Spain has flowing locks and a flair for the flashy, sexy pass. Does that make him remotely equipped to wage battle in a league loaded with elite point guards, from Chris Paul to Deron Williams to Jason Kidd to Derrick Rose to Rajon Rondo? Pistol Pete was a one-and-only, never to be replicated in any year, a prolific scorer and exquisite passer whose showmanship would have thrived in a time when entertainment and SportsCenter hits seem to trump winning championships. Rubio? He's 18. I have no idea how much he'll improve his shaky jumper and adapt to the raw physicality of NBA ball. He very easy could be a Eurobust who has brainwashed us with YouTube reels that conveniently ignore his turnovers and no-look flips with no-chance recipients."...
