He's barely playing for Barcelona, he hasn't played in over two weeks and is lucky to get 10 minutes of playing time on a good day. Usually less than 2 minutes a game when he does play.

He needs to move to another team next year or come to Greensboro, unless he has assurances his playing time will significantly increase next year at Barcalona.

Also @fatlever his name is misspelt in the thread index. It could make it hard to find his thread down the track if people are using the search function.

Why does anyone on Barcelona care about playing and developing him if they think he is just going to leave and come over here next year.

We probably shouldn't pick guys that need to be developed if we don't have some plan for that.

Still plugging away. Do we call him up next year?

He is incredibly raw but those physical tools are so tantalizing that I don’t see what we have to lose bringing him over. Richards can’t be the answer long term.

He is still only 19 years old, even if he doesn't come over for 2 more years it could be an awesome use of a draft pick.

he's about 5 months older than Clingan.

i hope he comes in summer league and kills it. he's a physical beast.
