ying to make a name for himself at Wake Forest.Thats quite a challenge for the son of Randolph Childress -- one of the best play Antworten

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Brandon Childress is trying to make a name for himself at Wake Forest.Thats quite a challenge for the son of Randolph Childress -- one of the best players in program history and a current assistant coach at the school.Brandon Childress called it a gift and a curse being my fathers son in an interview with The Associated Press, but is embracing the tough task that comes with living up to the family name.Randolph Childress made a school-record 329 3-pointers and scored 2,208 points -- more than every other Wake Forest player in the past 60 years -- from 1990-95 before becoming a first-round draft pick and beginning a 16-year pro career that included stints in the NBA and in Europe.No ones asking his son to duplicate those numbers, of course, though father and son do have some similarities in their game . Both are pure shooters, though itll be tough to match what Dad did in 1995.Randolph scored an Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament-record 107 points over three days, hitting a memorable jumper over a fallen-down Jeff McInnis after a crossover move before hitting the go-ahead leaner in the final seconds of overtime to beat North Carolina for the title.Randolph said Brandon earned the scholarship and hasnt been given anything because of family ties. Scout.com rated Brandon as a three-star recruit out of Wesleyan Christian in nearby High Point.I wanted him to go through the (recruiting) process and know Im not going to push you, and Im not the one thats bringing you here, Randolph said. You earned the right to be here.Instead, theyre asking more of him because of his familiarity with the university, the program and the system: Randolph has been on Wake Forests staff since 2012, and though he was born in Detroit, Brandon lists his hometown as Winston-Salem.The expectation for Brandon is that he comes in, he grasps the system and hes got a head start on all of our freshmen because hes been around the last two years, coach Danny Manning said. So his standard is probably a little bit higher than the other freshmen in that regard.From the outside, it might seem like the younger Childress was always headed to Wake Forest because he saw one of the key recruiters every day.Not the case, both father and son insist.Brandon said his dad didnt put a finger in my recruiting at all and didnt even accompany him on his official visits, but did offer advice on what to expect during the recruiting process. Randolph says that was because he knew his son had to come to a decision on his own.Stanford, Clemson, East Carolina, Charlotte and UNC Greensboro were the main other schools that showed interest, Brandon said.A lot of people think it was simple, but it really wasnt, he said. A lot of schools always wanted to say, `Ah, hes going to play for his father, when I told several coaches that right now, I dont want to play for my father -- I just want to go on my own, and a lot of schools didnt want to give me the opportunity.Turns out, the one school that offered him what he wanted most -- a chance to play in the ACC -- was the one where Dad works.There were always going to be people questioning or saying things -- `Oh, you just went there because of your dad -- and I wanted him to be able to say, your recruitment went through a coaching change (from Jeff Bzdelik to Manning) as well, so you earned that opportunity to come here, Randolph said. There were no strings to tie, there were no promises made or assumptions made that youre going to be here. All I told him was, youre going to work to get here, how difficult it was to get here and once you got here, you had to work even harder.---Follow Joedy McCreary at http://twitter.com/joedyap.

Hargreaves began his career in 2008 with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and has played with the Edmonton Eskimos and last season with the Saskatchewan Roughriders. NEW YORK -- Dwyane Wade left his defender in the dust with a vintage crossover that brought players on the Chicago bench and fans behind them to their feet.Hes still got some `ahh in his bag, teammate Jimmy Butler said. Very impressive.So are the new-look Bulls.Butler scored 22 points, Wade had 12 in the first road game of his career not played for Miami, and the Bulls improved to 3-0 by beating the Brooklyn Nets 118-88 on Monday night.With Wade and Rajon Rondo in a revamped backcourt, the Bulls opened with home victories against Eastern Conference playoff teams Boston and Indiana before easily handling their road opener, leading by as many as 33 points.We only played a little bit together in the preseason, so were still learning each other right now. Were only three games in, but we see it looking good at times, Wade said.The Bulls had seven players in double figures, with Wade becoming the last of them when he blew by Bojan Bogdanovic with that crossover and was fouled on a drive to the basket in the fourth quarter.Nikola Mirotic had 16 points and 10 rebounds, while Taj Gibson added 14 points and 11 boards for the Bulls.Bogdanovic scored 15 points and Jeremy Lin had 14 for the Nets, who fell to 1-3.Butler made all five shots as the Bulls built an 18-point lead after one quarter that grew to 25 in the second. Chicago led 93-66 after three, leaving the crowd with little to cheer in the fourth beyond Wades smooth moves.The Nets first three games had all been decided by single digits -- they had actually outscored opponents 328-326 despite starting 1-2 -- but they were never in this one after the opening minutes.It was just poor energy right from the start, center Brook Lopez said. Obviously there is no excuse for the way we played.Butler and Gibson were a combined 9 for 9 in the first quarter as the Bulls got a number of easy baskets while playing at the quicker pace they are using since adding Wade and Rondo.It didnt show in the preseason, but I dont know whats gotten into us, Rondo said. We turned things around.The Netss, who entered averaging an NBA-high 37.dddddddddddd3 3-point attempts per game, were 5 for 31 (16 percent) behind the arc.TIP-INSBulls: G Michael Carter-Williams left with what coach Fred Hoiberg said was a sprained left knee in the first half and did not return. Hoiberg said the reserve guard will have an MRI on Tuesday. ... The Bulls have won four straight in Brooklyn, tied with Miami for the longest current winning streak.Nets: Coach Kenny Atkinson said guard Randy Foye, who hasnt played yet because of a strained right hamstring, was progressing well. Also sidelined was backup guard Greivis Vasquez, who felt soreness in his right ankle Saturday at Milwaukee. Atkinson said Vasquez was day to day. ... The Nets fell to 6-7 on Halloween. They havent won on the holiday since beating the Bulls in 2007.LOPEZ LEDGERRobin Lopez improved to 8-6 against twin brother Brook. The two, who rarely speak when playing each other, didnt even acknowledge each other in the moments before the opening tip. Brook stood with his back to Robin before beating him to win the jump.VALENTINES DAYRookie Denzel Valentine, the college player of the year last season at Michigan State, scored his first NBA points with a 3-pointer midway through the fourth quarter after replacing Wade.BROOKS BACK TO BACKSBrook Lopez, who has battled foot problems during his career, sat out Saturday in Milwaukee on the second night of a back-to-back but Atkinson was vague when asked about the plan. Theres an overall plan and then on a game-to-game basis you might have to adjust that depending on a lot of things, he said. To get into specifics like that is a little difficult, but we like the plan we put in place. Again, Brooks on board, were on board.UP NEXTBulls: Visit Boston on Wednesday. The Bulls beat the Celtics 105-99 on Thursday at home in their season opener.Nets: Host Detroit on Wednesday in the second game of a four-game homestand. ' ' '
