Hawks Tame the London Lions...Again

In reference to that "top 10 highlight video". Anyone notice how little JO gets off the ground? It's hard to judge b/c it zooms in but it almost looks like he doesn't get his toes off the deck more then an inch. That will be blocked all year if that's all the higher he jumps on his shot. jmo.

He doesn't really shoot unless he is open, so no worries. Lets just hope he makes more than 25% of them.

Dev was doing his best Magic impression on the break. :)
 
Guys in the BBL make less in salary for basketball than the players get on their scholarships.

Maybe you should head over seas and try out for the team? If they really do suck and scrubs is the best term for them, you might have an outside shot at making the roster. Then you can tell everyone that you played basketball for a living.

I can't afford that kind of pay cut.
 
Funny, but I think most are basing it on the fact that they improved a lot last year, they are still young and getting better, and the 2 additions are doing as well as anyone could have hoped for. Obviously Jok isn't going to average 20/game in the BoneG his first year, but if he is able to drop 10-15 it gives us a dimension we didn't have last year and needed greatly.

BoneG? is that still happening?
 
My next question about Joks game besides his defense for me is how athletic is he? Is his knee 100% then? We know he's a shooter but how is he at putting it on the floor and scoring at the rim? If he's able to do that he'll be the best of both worlds of what Marble and Oglesby bring. Marble isn't as consistent of a shooter and Oblesby will pull up for an 18 footer before going to the rim for the most part.

Hes got decent handles and can pass but is not very explosive off the ground. Hes not going to get to the rim and finish over people much but It seems like he has a really good mid range game to compliment the long range game.

Its all just speculation as to how effective he can be anyway until we actual see him play a game.

LOL.

You do realize there are two years of prior attempts to go on?
