    His skillset usually does. He's a garbage man, not your typical face-up Euro big.

    Unfortunately, he'd give us about 6 ppg, 3 rpg, and about 4.5 fpg in about 10 mpg

    I would guess the percentage of hits to misses with drafted euros is probably better than the hits to misses with drafted college players.

    Greg would disagree. During SPL practice in '07 Joel Freeland posterized Greg more than once.

    It was a team practice when a healthy Greg was getting smashed on by Freeland. Not a regular VSPL game.

    That sucks that he is unlikely to come over. I think he could be a real good bench player with the potential to become a solid starter down the line.

    The much more likely player to come over seems to be Claver. I have less hope for him, but I really don't know enough to make a good assessment.

    That's because there's more college prospects, and in general, college prospects are better.

    because there's more, the percentage is worse? That makes no sense. The percentage, if college prospects are better, should be better. And I would bet they are not.

    There seems to be no end to these crackers. If we keep letting them sail here they're going to take over our continent.

    I really want him to come over. I think he could make an immediate impact off the bench.

    Or, we could have had six seasons of immediate impact off the bench from Paul Millsap by the time we see Joel Freeland in a Blazers uniform (excluding summer league).
