That's OK. I used to call Nate Johnson "Magic."

Nate did have a “tryout” with the Lakers...!

Although Webster described himself as a score first point guard, hopefully he has some play making ability too.

Hugh, long time no see.

A former NU teammate has said Nate abruptly left Lakers camp when Johnson seemed to be on the verge of making the L.A.L. team, and nobody's heard from him since he left ("no contact" to at least those still in NE, I should add).

So, that sounds a lot like Dachon Burke, then.

He might be. Would Burke have taken so many shots if we had more scoring options?

Webster's FT and 3pt numbers indicate he's easily a better shooter than Burke but the drive for contact isn't there.  I don't think we need Webster to drive and get fouled though...if he's handling the ball he needs to drive and make a good decision.

That was more my snarkiness shining through... I agree that Kobe will become more of NU's distributor than strictly a shooter/scorer (like Dachon).

Oh, no doubt. My snarky response should have seemed to have been more geared toward Dachon, actually.

Looks like academics won't be an issue for Kobe W:

Good news for Omaha's Matt Pile, too. Silver linings to a truncated post-season.
