		At the end of Ridnour's end-to-end run, whether the defense is around or not, the Ducks often heave up a long one, attempting 24.5 3-point shots per game.

		Luke Ridnour decided earlier this year to turn pro after his junior year at the University of Oregon, and in last week's NBA draft was selected by the Seattle Supersonics as the second of their two first-round picks, choosing six-foot-nine-inch Nick Collison of Kansas first.
		Ridnour’s serious approach to the game contrasted with the hype in the way ESPN televised the draft, marching each draftee in turn up to Stern to be congratulated before a back stage interview as their commentators, Dick Vitale and Jay Bilas, gushed over their records.
		When Ridnour's name was read, however, they attacked both his defensive skills as inadequate for the NBA and the Sonics as well for making a bad choice.
