Hassan finds a home

Ignis...is that a team name?</p>

I wonder how much he gets paid for that gig and why he did not choose the D-League..</p>

 

Yeah one would think the NBDL is better is most regards to the Italian version. Hopefully he tears it up out there and moves on quickly</p>

 

He'll set it on fire.</p>

 

Actually, the team he plays for is in Italy's Lega2, which isn't anything like the D-League.</p>

The D-League is a minor pro league that works in a farm system with the NBA (which in simple english means that teams from the NBA can call up/send players from and to the D-League).</p>

Lega2 is the second division in Italy (SerieA is the first division, B1 is the third). The top 2 teams from the league get promoted to the SerieA, the bottom two fall to B1. It's a stand-alone league, unlike the D-League that has a parent league (the NBA).</p>

My guess is that Ignis Novara (Ignis is a sponsor's name, Novara is the city) are paying Adams more money than a D-League team would so that's why he went there. Too bad they're in 2nd to last place in the league (2-7). Horace Jenkins, who was on the Pistons roster that reached the NBA Finals and lost in 2005, played for them a few years ago.</p>

 

best of luck to hassan. liked the guy but he is just in a tough position because he doesnt have good handles or a jumper. yeah he came in with energy but if it didnt rub off on his teammates he really did nothing. granted he was a rookie and i would have liked to see him progress in a nets uni, but this is better for hassan. he can now really concentrate on his skills and hope to impress a scout and get an invite to someones camp next year.</p>

 

Wow, thanks for all the info, kobimel.</p>

I wish the best of the luck to Hassan...and I know he'll set that league on fiya!</p>

Yes, yes it is. All basketball leagues in Europe are setup like that, too.</p>

No problem, I love sharing knowledge of the European leagues. It's pretty much the same game, but it's a whole different world of basketball.</p>

 

memo to Hasan next summer go to the Pro Camp in Las Vegas like Antoine</p>

 

Go get 'em Hassan! It may be halfway across the world but that might be even better for him in the longrun. Maybe getting the chance to be the a main man again will help him too.</p>

 

He will certainly be the man on that team. Maybe he can learnthe languageand be able totrash talk with Kobe in Italianthe next time he guards him.</p>

edit: wait a minute, what the hell is he wearing!?</p>

 

Nice! 20 and 10, book it!</p>

I believe he was just introduced that game so looks like a golf shirt with team logo.</p>

His first game will be on the 8th.</p>

 

27 points in 30 minutes for the win.</p>

Do it Thron!</p>

Great percentages, too. This is pretty crazy awesome.</p>

 

Atleast there's some good quasi-Nets related news tonight.</p>

 

This is a guy who started for an NBA team last year, can't be that surprised</p>

I'm still a bit surprised as to why he finds himself in the q-side league of leagues, but such is life.</p>
