Whatever happened to him? Is he not in the leauge no more? I was looking at the box score from the phx game and noticed he wasnt on their roster no more....
http://www.asia-basket.com/team.asp?Cntry=China&Team=1943&Page=3 16 games 18.1 PPG on 46.0% FG, 42.9% 3ptFG, 78.8% FT 4.9 APG to 3.3 TOPG (ew) 3.1 RPG 2.1 SPG
People who chose to play in China cannot play here until their season ends. This includes Jr Smitth, Kenyon Martin, Wilson Chandler, Aaron Brooks, etc.
He had the only exception because he was a Chinese national and they gave him a preferential contract.
He may not be on track to be a star, but he will be back as a productive NBA player in March and will be able to become a free agent 2 months later, unrestricted that is.... DD
I think he will be a productive player as well. He needs to keep working and improving his game though.
He also needs the right fit.....ironically he would probably be great for McHale's offense....but I doubt he would want to come back here as Kyle's backup. DD
He is stuck in China but I believe he will be free by end of March. He will be a restricted free agent (phoenix can match).
Someone can sign him for 2 months on a one year deal, and Phoenix will have to match, and then Brooks is an UNRESTRICTED free agent after this season. DD
