    Man, he has to be a horrendous rebounder...6.1 in EUROPE, at 6'10"???

    We were complaining about 6.5 from Mo Taylor in the NBA. I am not worried about the new LA power forward!

    Hahahahahahahahahaha!
    Hohohohohohohohohohho!
    Hehehehehehehehehehehe!

    Oh nevermind, that was an 8 game stretch. I guess he averaged 7.5 in Europe.

    Oh well....I wonder what that translates to in NBA boards!?!?

    Europe is probably higher so it is likely inflated. They have very different rules for goal tending/basket interference

    And the wider lane would only inhibit the offensive rebounder.

    He can dribble with both hands!?!?! I'm shocked and amazed!

    HOOP-T: The 7.5 you referred to was over a 2 game stretch.

    This guy seems able to score, and is only 21.

    To put it in perspective, Olumide Oyedeji, who is 2 years younger, averaged 12 and 14 (points-rebounds).

    Maybe the foreign player fetish wasn't Krause, but it was Jackson's. We should be expecting a trade any day now for Dragan Tarlac. I bet Nellie is also mad that Jackson stole his player.

    Ummmm

    before we all dog the international players for a lack of rebounding ability....

    An NBA game goes for 48 minutes with 24 second shot clock. If all possesions are run down to the last second and all shots are missed that makes a total of 120 rebounds available for both teams to grab.

    A European game goes for 40 minutes with a 30 second shot clock. If all possesions are run down to the last second and all shots are missed that makes for a total of 80 rebounds available for both teams.

    Think about that before you start hacking on 7.5 boards per game.
    In regards to Olumide Oyediji it just makes his rebounding ability the more PHENOMENAL.
