Any word on Tibor Pleiss?

So have the Thunder even brought this guy into camp this year or are they keeping him a secret and then unleashing his dominance on the league next year?

Don't know much about him, but I'm pretty sure he wasn't on the training camp roster at any point.

Here are his numbers playing for Brose Baskets in Euroleague: http://www.euroleague.net/competition/p ... ubcode=BAM

Looks a bit better than last year, but I don't think there's anything imminent.

Watched a few Bamberg games this season. This guy is a bum. Still Anthony Randolph thin and no post game. I doubt he would even be able to outplay Aldrich at this point for you guys. :dontknow:

His only basketball skill is his size and he doesn't seem motivated to change that. Whenever I see the guy he plays completely without fire. I don't think he's even motivated to play basketball.

I've had similar thoughts watching him last year, it's sad that it might still be the case. He's still a tall guy with some skill, but I think the chances of him coming over as an impactful player are slim.

At this point I would just forget about him. He was a gamble with the 31st pick that didn't pay off. Not a big deal.

Good game today. Hopefully, the W will stay in Minneapolis, though. :wink:
