Does anyone have any info on the whereabouts of Malick Badiane? I know he's been playing ball in Germany, but is he still there and does anyone know when/if he will be joining the team? Funny how we desperately need a tough power forward to pair with Yao and we drafted this guy 2 years ago. In one of the only interviews with him online he says his favorite thing to do is rebound and block shots. He's a little skinny, but seems tough enough.

Before drawing a conclusion, I would caution that this in the German Bundesliga. The Skyliners did not fare particularly well in EuroLeague play. I think they went out in the 1st round. http://www.eurobasket.com/ger/ger.asp
