http://www.nba.com/summerleague2008/players/index.jsp?player=john_iii_lucas Just thought I would share in case anyone was interested. He's playing summer league for the Raptors.
Born: Nov 21, 1982 Height: 6-11 / 2,11 Weight: 165 lbs. / 74,8 kg. This must be a John Lucas IV that Lucas II never admitted to MPG - 28.0 FG% - .281 When the field goal percentage is the same or less as the minutes played number, thats SERIOUS bricking.
no its just a web typo cause I just saw him shoot a three and drive and pop for a shot in the lane. They said his name while I was watching the Lakers game... to see Joe Crawford. That's why I went to look him up.
6'11 and 165 is seriously skinny. I like how the metric height (2.11 meters) is consistent with the 6'11'' number.
I'm not too optimistic about John's future right now. Last season he played in the Italian league and was cut mid season by his team because of poor performance. And that summer league line doesn't look so good. As Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy would say, "Come on John you're better than that." Well unfortunately though, maybe he really isn't.
