Philadelphia - As we approached his official grading, The Big Dipper was cool, calm, and relaxed. He volunteered "...Anyway, it doesn't matter what this grade is, to be honest. I'm in this to be number one, plain and simple. I know I have work to do, but I also know I want this more than anyone else, and I know what it takes to get there. A lot of these guys say they want it, but they don't know how to get there. Words are cheap. My actions will scream from the top of D7 in a few years."
Very strong words from a very strong young man.
As we sat in his Philadelphia home, I started to see what makes this young player so special. These days, how many players graduate College while dominating along the way? How many players get the chance to learn from one of the best coaches in the college game for four seasons? Coach Self has clearly had a huge affect on The Big Dipper, shaping him into a force to be reckoned with for many years. And how many young men have such a clear idea of what kind of work ethic will be required in order to reach his full potential?
The Big Dipper is certainly one of the most physically dominating young players to come out of college in a long time, but even more importantly, he may be the most driven player in the entire league. The team that bets on The Big Dipper is going to be very happy for a very long time.
- Walt Frazier, signing off!

Until we get people on the Media Committee, I will be grading all articles.
This one was a little short and there were no pictures to give it that extra spark. But seeing that it was very well-written and it is the first article for D7:
[3 Points Awarded, All Players]
