reported today on Maariv a big paper here in israel: "Nate Huffman left rockets staff with graet impression. he is already on his way to try out with the sonics.... Denis Lindesi told to the maariv reporter: nate looked graet we most wanted to see his offensive game and although he was very tierd he shot well all day long, we are looking at him for two years now and this year he has made the big leap in his abilty all credit on this leap should go to his choches in maccabi tel-aviv. we had a great talk with Nate and he told us graet things about israel as a country and maccabi as a ball-club. I have no doubt that he can play in the NBA and his adventage is that he can play both C and PF positions. Nate is a great telent that with hard good work can go far in the NBA he had a wonderful season in Europe and our scout their joe hatch has recomended him to us, we know he is going to meet with 7 more teams in the NBA but i guess he will not get a final answear before the draft, of course i wont tell you if we are going to sign him or not but i can say that he left a very good impression." ------------------ The holy land #1 rocket fan [This message has been edited by The Israeli Rocket (edited June 14, 2000).]
I hope we do sign him, if he works out, it would be a great story, and send Cato a message. DaDakota ------------------
We can just sign him right? He's not in the draft right? If so, I say go for it. At least this project will have a better head on his shoulders than 2Sandwiches (although not a better nickname!) ------------------ Get your proper swirve on...visit www.swirve.com (coming in mid-June, for now visit www.eesite.com)
Yes we can just sign him he is not in the draft, i hope we will sign him for selfish resones he was realy populer here and the media will follow him where ever he goes (they will probebly call him the first israeli in the NBA ) that meanes more live games for me to see and more marchendise At NORMAL prices for me to buy plus he could help the rockets he playes with alot of detetmeation and soul he is very active and his game catches your eye the only minus in him is that he is Ugly i mean he doesn't come out so well in photos but i can live with that ------------------ The holy land #1 rocket fan [This message has been edited by The Israeli Rocket (edited June 14, 2000).]
Well Looking at the Rocket Roster i don't think we have a very attractive team anyway's ...jeez our team i downright ugly.....Oh well they can ball ...thats what the power dancers are for!! ------------------
LOL!! Yaeh i forgat about Pig miller i guess that next to him even huffman can look quite good. ------------------ The holy land #1 rocket fan
Rudy and staff must be asking the question right now: "Who can guard Shaq?". In that regard, if the report on this Huffman guy is as good as what we are hearing, then I don't see any reason why Rockets will not go all the way to get this guy. ------------------
Nate CAN NOT gured sheq he is very skinny he won't be able to stop him if you wont some one who can stop shaq than you should go for tzaklaidis in the draft. ------------------ The holy land #1 rocket fan
