Former NBA All-Star David West remembers someone from the Seattle SuperSonics organization being extremely high on Luke Ridnour before the 2003 draft (Sonics had 12th & 14th picks in the First Round/received #14 selection from the Gary Payton trade with Milwaukee).

(via Knuckleheads with Quentin Richardson and Darius Miles):

“The dude looked me dead in my face and he was like, ‘We’re gonna draft Nick Collison, but we really think we’ve got the next [John] Stockton in Luke Ridnour.’”
