Running and jumping all night over the course of 82 games (and, of course, a deep playoff run) will be damage enough. Why waste him on summer league games? It's not like he has to adjust to MLB pitching or the speed of NFL linebackers. Basketball is basketball. The only change in play DRose will see come October is that NBA opponents play way less defense than the Memphis practice squad. Also, did I just read a 2008 blog entry containing direct references to Fred Manrique, Dan Pasqua, Ron Karkovice, and 7-11 Sportflix Slurpee Collector's Coins??? Was there a bigger treat in any Chicago-area young man's life than looking on the bottom of his slurpee cup to find one of 16 White Sox Sportlix coins?? To this day, I still have (somewhere) Pudge, Ivan Calderon, Karko, Harold, Ozzie, and (I think) Gary Redus. To that end, was there a bigger disappointment than power-washing a half-Coke/half-blue rasberry Slurpee, obtaining a near-coma-inducing brain freeze, and then discovering you were the unlucky owner of a Ron Cey, Leon Durham, or Rick Sutcliffe Sportflix?? I'd argue that was one of the worst feelings one can experience. Who's with me??? Smart move holding him out.
