Summer League action wrap-up

The biggest question mark going into summer-league play was how lottery pick Nick Collison would perform. Collison struggled with foul trouble, limiting him to just 27 minutes on average. Collison played well when
he was in, scoring in the low post and getting on the boards. Collison made 54.1% of his shots while finishing third on the
team in scoring at 13.0 points per game. He led the Sonics in rebounding, grabbing over seven boards on average. Collison
matched up against a pair of other rookie big men drafted in the first round this year, Chris Bosh of the Toronto Raptors and Brian Cook of the Los Angeles Lakers. Collison scored just nine points against Bosh, but outrebounded him 7-4. Against Cook, Collison
again won the battle on the boards (11-6) and scored 13 points.

12th pick, 1st round, Seattle Supersonics 6/26/03
In phone interviews with the media after their selections, both Collison and Ridnour expressed happiness at being selected
by the Sonics. Once they took Sweetney in New York, I figured I was going to Seattle, Collison said, and that was where I
wanted to go all along.....I have to earn my spot, Collison said last night, but I think I can potentially bring a scoring
option inside, someone who can rebound and also can step away (from the basket). Seattle likes to play an up-tempo game and
they have great shooters so there should be some room to operate.
