I never heard of him, according to chuck hes athletic but WTF WTF WTF wait is pape sow a free agent?if he is im gonna kill because for not getting pape back, hes one of my fav raptors right now
Never heard of this guy either. Is he a big guy that shoots threes? I havn't heard of him, so I cannot judge. But man, we needed a rebounder. Hopefully because is still working on getting rid of some guys for a rebounder. I.e. Joey, Juan, Mo Pete, Rasho...
This likely doesn't mean anything. This means he is invited to camp and has a shot to make the team, with a non-guaranteed contract, much like Kevin Pittsnoggle last season.
He will probably play in the development leagueunless he was the best kept secret in basketball history

I never heard of this dude at all, but the other day I saw him make a impressiive dunk off the fastbreak.</p>
What a find by BC. He stepped up in the starting role tonight; 12 points, six rebounds, two steals in 18 minutes.</p>

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (o.iatlhawksfan)</div><div class='quotemain'></p> Just saw the stat sheet for today's game, and it seems like this dude is for real!</p> </div></p> Not only that but his defense was great, he showed Deng no mercy. He was step for step with Deng and pretty much contested every single shot or blocked it....very good game. I was skeptical with Moon in the starting lineup but he is worthy of the spot.</p> </p>
Its a pretty incredible story. We're looking at a very serviceable player here if he continues to work on his jumpshot. Honestly, I can't remember seeing a more unexpected rise by a player.</p>
He makes it really easy to forget Luke Jackson... His rebounding is incredible! He just jumps and really stretches out his body... Such an athlete!! Once again the depth of this team has improved!! No Raps till Wed </p>
What impresses me most, is his rebounding and defense. He gets up there and just takes the ball right out of the air. On defense, like everyone has said, his is right in your face, making you play great offense. That block on Deng was so dirty, I just had to rewind it and watch it again. He was also getting some great steals, which shows he has some good all around defense.</p> On offense, well, what can I say? He played great. He ran the floor, worked hard on the boards and had some nasty dunks and ally-oops. I hope he starts the next game too, he really does deserve it.</p> </p>
