Hollinger Translates Euro Stats - Lior Eliyahu

Nice find. Maybe Eliyahu can be the next Chuck Hayes and work his way into the roster. If he has enough game, his skills would provide some nice variety in the frontcourt.

 

let's hope he is not a quiter like Vspan...

 

Bring him over NOW

 

I think they're planning to have him play on the summer league team.

 

So he's "undoubtedly ready to ply his trade", huh? I'm looking forward to hearing about this kid's performance in the summer league. We're long overdue for a successful player from overseas.

 

Can he come over for the regular season? Does have a large buyout?

 

Yao doesn't count?

 

what yao wasn't good enough for ya?

 

He's actually in Houston right now. Apparently, he's going to attend Friday Night services at my synagogue tonight. No joke.

 

JVG ruined him!!

I was going to say Europe, but went with overseas because I'm not sure if Israel is considered Europe or Asia. That made me look even dumber.

 

Asian.

 

Where do you go?

 

It would be a nice surprise to see him on the roster next year. I knew he was playing very well, but didn't expect to see him until '08.

 

I can't start threads, so maybe someone can copy and paste this one, but Hoopsworld was talking about possible trades and it mentioned Camby being available, and that Head is someone the Nuggets have wanted for over a year(They tried to trade Najera for Head last time). Now, just a Hoopsworld RUMOR and MY speculation, but that could mean that our next PF is going to be Camby. I was thinking Luther Head, Sura's contract and possibly another player like Kirk Snyder to help match Camby's contract.... IMO this is a trade that should be done. Camby next to Yao and Mutumbo when Yao is tired or in foul trouble is intriguing as hell. The guy is very versatile and could play C if Mutumbo gets hurt. Once again this is rumor, but I know other Rockets fans can appreciate the subtle hints here: Denver is unloading Camby, the Rockets need a PF, and Denver loves Luther Head....

 

Thank the maker






I wonder what position he'll play and if he'd be a guy we only brought in when theres a favorable matchup, or does he have the possibility of being a regular rotation guy. I got the sense he was more an athlete who hustles then having the typical Euro polished game.

 

He sounds like an oversized 3, with slashing ability and not too much range. We'll see how he plays during the summer league.

 

That's an understatement........

 

so, he's 6'8... where are the people complaining about him being undersized?
