    Didn't they already have him earlier, and then they cut him after preseason or something?

    Being from India you'd think he'd only want to play with Curry.

    He was a training camp invitee, but didn't play in any games and has been playing for Reno in the D-League.

    You can't teach 7'5 but you can outrun 360lbs

    I have watched him play some in the d-league... guy (obviously) is slow as hell. He doesn't rotate well, doesn't have good hands. He can't leap very well, which you would think wouldn't be such a big deal... but with these freak athletes that have huge verts, he can get outrebounded pretty easily. Add that to the stones for hands he has, it's not a good combo. He's literally a big body that can take up fouls. Think of Thabeet without the funny ass spot in his hair and two inches taller. (I think Thabeet is 7'3).

    Since he's playing in Cow-town, he should be in hog heaven.

    I thought Sac fired a coach for playing slow ball and they sign about the slowest guy you could put on a basketball court?

    I don't think he'll play.

    I think Stifle Tower is a great nickname but Slamdunk Millionaire is also pretty epic.

    I don't think Bhullar is an NBA-level talent but if he can help Randive establish a market for the NBA and the Kings in India it is a very low risk/high reward investment.

    I think he'll play, at least a few minutes, for Randive to be able to claim the whole first NBA player of Indian descent thing.

    And why not? The Kings aren't going anywhere anyway. This will generate some interest both locally and in India. A 10-day D-League call up is cheap PR.

    He needs to shed a lot of weight and a lot of it!

    He's supposedly lost 50 pounds since training camp! Too bad, at 7'5" and 410 pounds he would have made the perfect hockey goalie. Just sit him on his fat ass between the pipes and let someone just try to squeeze the puck past that.

    I saw him play at New Mexico State on my way home from AFG last time. I think he was being backed up by his "little" brother (7'3"/330 or so). But he's only been playing basketball a few years.

    So I'm guessing his nickname will be Bhull
