    True. But they are NOT desperately bad like us at the 4 spot.

    They probably won't want someone w/ a checkered past.

    All I know is that I will be pis**^ as hell if Benson, a guy playing in Yao's backyard, is picked up by another team. This is just the bare minimum intelligence that every NBA team should be gathering.

    Clove, where did you see these clips? and would you be able to direct us to them?

    Once the HBO show comes out, it may be too late.

    It already came out...like 2 years ago. That same season they also featured stories on two other prospects about to enter the league...Amare Stoudamire and Yao Ming

    I dont think we are talking about the same thing. It is said HBO is currently working on a story about his turnaround.

    I saw one segment during a chinese sports show. I can't remember what channel. It's either CCTV or shanghai sports. It was a 30 min show, half of which is on CBA, with about 3 minutes on Benson's 56 point 21 rebound game.

    We should be able to find something on the web, I'm looking right now. I found a couple already, but they are too slow to watch/download in the states.

    I am pretty sure the guy is averaging 34/20(or more) in the CBA. Even if some guy averages that in high school, we need to take a look.

    For people who don't know CBA. Take NCAA and take out the top 10 teams, that's about CBA's level.

    He is a beast.

    FG for four games: 20/41 20/37 13/31 17/38.....

    points: 56 50 40 48.....

    But his field goal percentage could be less than 40% in NBA.

    Considering what we have,

    I'd take Lee Benson.

    I'd take Kent Benson.

    Hell, I'd even take this guy.

    Believe me, on the Rox he'll be put in his place as a defensive minded, rebounding enforcer...

    can you imagine...who the hell is gonna f**^ with Yao or anyone on this team when we have a guy who did 8 years of hard time...

    Why? cuz Lee has a criminal past? It would make sense since it'll be bad for marketing.

    But we are also very desperate right now.

    I remember reading about this guy several years back. Sounds just about perfect to me. Sign him up.

    no, because of CD, he didnt sign so many guys in the offseason that wouldve helped us today

    thus no confidence in him.. hes probably 'cookin' something else, not.

    I give up. All the clips I found are from sites in China and are impossible to see in the states.

    I remember Lee was not a big guy though, built like KG but shorter. 6-8?
