    Check out pictures. It's on his shooting hand I believe.

    Agreed.

    Dijon Thompson was the main guy at UCLA when Ariza was there and before Farmar and Arron Afflalo was there. Good size for a wing with some offensive game and good shooting touch. But BAAAAD on defense, like Novak type bad.

    Once they both come over their rookie seasons, like Landry and Scola they will come together to form

    PG: Brooks / Russell Robinson
    SG: Greene
    SF: Harris
    PF: Forbes
    C: Dorsey / Woods

    I bet that's our main rotation.

    Joseph Jones is a great guy. He'll have a good career in Europe, but he's probably not quick enough for the NBA. He's definitely worth a spot on a summer league roster. Who knows?

    I wasn't aware Forbes didn't get drafted. He lit it up in predraft camp but that was mostly against other second rounders.

    Newley's currently on an european tour with the Australian national team. After the tour they have a pre-Olympics training camp that begins on July 15 pretty much when Summer League starts.

    I liked Dijon Thompson when came out. Really good mid range shooter.

    I only a saw few Greek games this season but none involving Jabber. I did notice his name dominating the stat sheet in Spanoulis's little league.

    I predict the Uruguayan player will develop a small but rabid BBS following.
