Talented inside player. Undersized for the NBA level, but an intimidating force on the overseas market.
ReplyDeleteChina's basketball is slowly on the rise. There will probably be more american and european players lured in by the chinese money. They want to make their league more enticing and I believe that getting talented american players and giving them double or triple the money they would get in Europe is a good way to get the crowds going in China.
ReplyDeleteHe was a kick ass player in High School. Talented and intimidating force on the overseas market for sure. NBA don't know what they're missing...they just need to show him the money. Let's Get'em my fellow BBHS Alumni
