Sonics' Swift Eager to Prove He's Ready

In the SEATTLE POST INTELLIGENCER, Gary Washburn writes “In one swoop, Robert Swift's development as a man and a basketball player has reached its apex, at the precise moment when the Sonics are seeking a mature and productive center as a cornerstone of their future. Quietly, as the Sonics franchise moves toward slow-simmering success on the court and uncertainty off it, Swift has rehabilitated his torn right anterior cruciate ligament in near anonymity. Not yet considered a bust because he was robbed of his opportunity to showcase his skills by the catastrophic injury, Swift has not played in an NBA regular-season game in 16 months, and he's hoping to make it to Oct. 31 at Denver's Pepsi Center with his rebuilt knee intact.”
