    Stay away, even Julious Hodge managed to average something ridiculous like 30 points playing in the NBL.

    He has played international ball against many up and coming Euro leaguers like Rubio, and apparently he has good leaping ability. Watch him dunk his own FT:

    <object width="640" height="390"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/TNy5tVbtRUk&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&version=3"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/TNy5tVbtRUk&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="390"></embed></object>

    or catch an alley-oop pass:

    <object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/lAKMVEcNQuU?version=3"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/lAKMVEcNQuU?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="390"></object>

    look at his ferocious face:

    Seriously, Australian Basketball standards are so crap that I pretend the NBL doesn't exist.

    RGV would probably beat every single NBL team.

    Let's not bullcrap each other!
    On paper Abercrombie is one of the riskiest sons of b****es alive.
    But people, we can not sum up a man's game with a bunch of numbers on a computer screen.
    We all need to look into our hearts and go, do I think this dude is going to be of no help to the Rockets?


    And the answer is, No, friends.

    ;)

    Guess that project didnt work out.

    This'll be something like a Romel Beck look at most.

    This is equal to the Rox being interested in someone playing in the CBA, sure Abercrombie is pretty good in his age range, but that is because we don't have any good players hahaha
