Citizenship, exemption (Blatche filipines) etc?

Dalembert played for us without much of a hitch.

i was being sarcastic about the Stromile Swift reference!!!
his game, hype, and NBA outlook is more reminiscent of Darius Miles.

Any more word on his decisions. I, like many here would REALLY enjoy him playing at a prep school in Canada. I have my own reasons... I want him to play with my cousin.

Yes I am shamelessly promoting my cousin

Heard some excellent things about your cousin.

Really athletic

not "sneaky athelte" which is basically a euphemism for "athletic for a white guy" but a big time athlete.

Hope he's working on that post game, or mid post ball handling.

Someone take this kid to some Raptor games. Get him to fall in love with the team and demand a trade here at the 2016 draft.

There's a full page in the Star today about Thon Maker. It was a good read.

We are becoming a mecca. After all, a Canadian invented the game

Thon Maker looks like a video game creation in one of those "Make a player" modes. Look at that picture in the Star article. Seriously.
