Last season, he appeared in 22 games for Varese in Italy's top league and averaged 2.6 points and 2.3 rebounds.</div> <div align="center">Link</div>
Good to hear, at least he didnt hold out or anything.. but, <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">averaged 2.6 points and 2.3 rebounds. </div> still kills me.
I've heard those numbers were misleading. He was with a really poorly coached team and got stuck in the doghouse. He has never been coached, they just said "dude, this is a basketball, grab it and throw it in that hoop". I'm glad they got him for three years, because it will take that long to learn the game. Donnie Nelson said he doesn't expect much from him this year. Too bad, we need him.
well i heard this guy can knock down the three. But if i'm not mistaken i think he likes the put the ball on the floor like a gaurd? Well anyways i was rooting for this guy to play last year and i was disapointed when he got pullled out because of growing disability. ( he has too much of something secreting that makes him grow so tall at such fast speeds ) I hope he has everything worked out physically. i cant wait to see him play next year or years to come. <u><font face="Garamond"><font size="4">Hopefully Jason kidd will get traded to the mavs and Paval, Bradley, (7'5 7'6 monster towers) Dirk, and Kidd could cause some rucus.</font></font></u>

Wether he's tall or not he's deffinatly not shaq. I think he's gunna end up being as useless as shawn bradly. If I was mark cuban, I woulda given up everything for shaq. Even though I'm not a fan of him, having him in dallas would be awesome.
