http://www.torontosun.ca./Sports/Basketbal...312522-sun.html your thoughts? i personally felt we should dump araujo down there as well, just so both of them get some much time deserved and build up their confidence...
I think Araujo can only get better with the NBA experience plus we really dont have any good center at least Araujo is still young.
I personally would have liked Sow to stay, since Loren Woods and Hoffa can't seem to do anything right on both ends of the court. Sow played like one game and one minute against Seattle, but I was automatically sold that he was better than either Hoffa or Woods. It just goes to show you how crappy our big men are.
http://www.nba.com/dleague/games/20051127/...W/boxscore.html Pape Sow comes off the bench and gets 38 minutes where he gets: 40 points/14 rebounds/2 blocked shots pretty impressive
Hoffa kind of stuck in limbo: he's better than the NBDL, but still not NBA-quality. At least the last few games have shown some improvement. I thought they should've made this move in the beginning of the season. Pape isn't going to get any minutes without development, and if he shows that he can beat NBDL players, then maybe we could come up to replace Woods or Aaron Williams.
So far Pape Sow has dominated the NBADL in 2 games he is averaging 30.5 ppg 12.5 rpg 3 spg both games were off the bench those are some amazing numbers for a 6th man let hope he keeps this up.

Wow, Sow for NBDL MVP! Not sure about you, but even if the 40/14 translate to one fourth in the NBA, it's still 10/4. I'll take it anyday at the center spot for the Raps.
Don't know if I said this here, but I still wondered why we sent him away. Defense and rebounding is what we needed, and that's his specialty, he's scoring like a beast against the NBDL guys, but I don't expect him to do that here. Wherever it is, those are nasty numbers, 40-14, wow.
Damn. I think we should send Hoffa and bring Pape back up for a bit(or is there a limit) I am <strike>liking</strike> loving his perforamance and if he keeps it up I hope we can bring him back up so he can hone his skills here.
Geez, those are monster stats. I doubt that Woods or Hoffa could dominate the D-League like that. Must be a sign that the next step for him is NBA minutes. They don't have to be a lot, but the Raps could use any rebounding they can get.
