    The type of passer Sabonis would love to play with:

    Long, a great feel for the game. But, still raw, and still super young. Needs to fill out. Nice touch from outside like pops.

    Crossing my fingers that my Zags can land him.

    Re: OT: Zags going hard after Sabonis' son

    Bloodlines don't always work - look at Michael Jordan's son.

    OTOH, you have Stephen, and maybe Seth, Curry. Tim Hardaway Jr. is a decent prospect. Who knows whether the offspring of Sheldon Williams and Candace Parker will be as mediocre as Dad or as good as Mom?

    Maybe it's just more tradition, but baseball seems to have more generations, sometimes even 3, of the same family.

    Re: OT: Zags going hard after Sabonis' son

    Or Magic Johnsons son. Or Clyde Drexlers sons (although they excelled in other sports, and seemed to have inherited their mothers work ethic and brains). Or Rick Barrys songs (altho Brent was a solid pro). Or Patrick Ewings son.

    Hopefully their offspring looks more like mom... ;)
    I think it's because baseball doesn't necessarily rely on athletic ability, but fundamentals, brains and strength. I do realize that opens a can of worms, but it's true.

    I think a case could be argued that athletic ability is least important (of the 4 major sports) in baseball, and that sport IQ is the most important.

    Domas Sabonis, son of the legendary Arvydas, made his Spanish League debut yesterday and finished with six points. po.st/WWoMMp

    Done deal.

    It'll be fun watching Sabonis in the stands. His kid is going to be real good.

    Good enough for another first weekend exit for Gonzaga? Butler and Wichita State already surpassed the Zags as mid-majors.

    In that video, he's better than Aldridge at getting uncontested rebounds. He stands under the basket and waits for them to fall into his lap. Aldridge stands 12 feet out and waits for them to fall into his lap.

    Sabonis' son is going to be a good one. He's putting up monster numbers in FIBA play.

    I see a lot of Cody Zeller in his game.

    Looks like he has his fathers post-injury jumping ability.

    That is what I saw too. Needs to bulk up some. Wonder if he is still growing.

    About to be a 9 page spread in Sports Illustrated about Damontas Sabonis. Some are predicting he might be just be at Gonzaga for 2 years before he goes to the league.
