The "Welcome to Houson" BIG DADDY Nana Papa Yaw Dwene Mensah-Bonsu forum.

whoop di do.

 

Seconded.

You really nailed that one, OP.

Gamechanger. Whoopdi doo.

And excellent choice for a pic. He drinks like a pro.

 

If by #1 priority you mean a low post player that shoots a stagering 41% (career) from the field then yes.

NCAA Tournament: Stock Watch (round of 32, #1), Stock DOWN/NEUTRAL
March 19, 2006
In the final game of his senior season, Mensah-Bonsu looked unimpressive against two NBA-caliber big men in Josh McRoberts and Shelden Williams. Clearly not 100% after his knee injury, he was unable to hold his position in the post, and didn’t show any skills when he received the ball in the post. Mensah-Bonsu had 2 of his shots swatted away by Williams, who along with McRoberts, pushed him on the other end of the floor. The Duke duo finished with 31 points combined. From what we’ve seen all year long in the way he has just not improved whatsoever from his junior season, things aren’t looking good for Pops. Right now he lacks fundamentals on either end of the court, and much of his college production resulted from his outstanding athleticism. Pops Mensah-Bonsu will need to show that he has the potential to develop some skills if he wishes to have a career in the NBA, and he needs to do it quickly.

He's still the same guy!! Hate to tell ya but if it quacks like a duck.................well.....

 

Im gonna polish up the zebra skin, its going down now.

 

On a brighter note, I hear this guy has just as many fouls to give as any other NBA player.

 

It's much harder to produce in limited minutes...anyone who actually plays basketball can tell you that.

So consider that when Pops played between 20 and 30 minutes last season, he put up very solid numbers...

11.2 ppg
7.8 rpg (4.3 offensive)
1.2 spg
.462 FG%
.704 FT%

That was in just 22.5 minutes per game, which puts him at least in Landry/Scola territory in terms of front court production. Granted, the sample size is very small (6 games), but it's promising nonetheless.

 

LMAO!!!!

 

All of you are doubters. When this guy shines, I'll laugh when you all jump on his nuts.

quote me on this.

 

I kind of like this deal, but im pretty sure David Anderson will start.

 

I agree. This move is the ultimate sleeper pick. He will become a Fan favorite and soon we will see all these pro Pops threads popping up. The kid has got talent.

 

It's not that we are doubting. I'm not the one to doubt. I'm usually optimistic about this things. But what exactly do you thing will happen? He suddenly becomes a 13/12 type player?? That carries us to the playoffs.

 

whoa whoa whoa, this aint my batman glass lois...

anywho, lets not get carried away here. to think that he's gonna solve our problems is ridiculous nonetheless. i'm not doubting he can help, just the belief that he'll contribute more than he's shown thus far in his career. love his energy though

 

I think this is one of those pro Pops threads "welcome to Houston big daddy"
Has he even signed the contract yet I haven't seen it anywhere.

 

how long is this guys freakin name? he has like 10 people's name in to one name.

 

Pops for short.

 

still not that long compered to

Dikembe Mutombo Mpolondo Mukamba Jean-Jacques Wamutombo

 

wait so we signed him? wheres the link?>

 

dang, lately Rocket fans are so over anxious to stamp out any glimmer of hope.

my apologies, missed our wedded nuptials to misery ...

 

Looking pretty good for Landry and maybe Dorsey to be leaving soon. Pops might b/u at 4 as much as 5. Just my $0.02.
