Would it be OK if we dump 2 players?

Re: Samb & Acker tracker

Cheick Samb missed last weekend's game which means he hasn't played in over a month.

There is an interesting bit on his younger brother at DraftExpress.com
DraftExpress - NBA Draft, NCAA/International Basketball Website.

You'll recall from an earlier post in this thread that his brother was called in to replace him in the lineup when Cheick was injured. That experiment only lasted 2 games.

I don't think this is a good development environment (the Spanish LEB-2 league). If you look at some of the guys on Cheick's team, it looks a lot like a high school alumni squad, after guys have got degrees, jobs, starting families, developed drug habits etc.

If the Pistons are serious about developing Samb at all, they should get him over here, at least playing in the NBDL or CBA. Surely they have the clout to make this happen.

Re: Samb & Acker tracker

Alex Acker update.

Olympiacos is starting to show some chinks in their armor. They lost last weekend to Efes Pilsen.

Olympiacos vs. Efes Pilsen - Report - Welcome to EUROLEAGUE BASKETBALL

Ironically, former Piston Horace Jenkins helped deal out the beatdown.

Acker had a bad game, perhaps at this point he is starting to feel some wear and tear.

Re: Samb & Acker tracker

Informative piece from McCoskey ...Has some info on Samb, Acker, Amir & Brevin Knght:

"Cheick has been hurt, which for us is useful in the fact that he's already gained 23 pounds of muscle and he looks great without losing any quickness," said Tony Ronzone, international scout and director of basketball operations for the Pistons. "He practices with the Barcelona team and he also plays and practices with a (junior) team in Cornella. He is definitely improving and we are very excited about his future."


Put on 23 LBS of muscle?

Re: Samb & Acker tracker

Apparently Samb has a stress fracture in his foot. He's been out 6 weeks now, so I have a hard time believing he has put on 23 lbs of muscle and still looks quick when he has one bad wheel.

Ronzone could sell snow to Eskimos.

Again folks, I want to reiterate that Samb plays in the LEB2, which is a third tier league in Spain. The Pistons are big on referring to it as second tier, which is totally not true. It's like high school basketball for adults.

Re: Samb & Acker tracker

If he really did put on that much weight, he should be steroid tested. That is absolutely impossible to add that much muscle that quickly.

Maybe he had this metabolism all along... jess couldn't find Big Macs in his country.... My guess is they've put him on a weight training program (muscle weighing more than fat).... but yeah that would be an unprecedented weight gain since the SL.
If he can get up around 260 in the next couple years we may be looking at our center of the future.
