Good luck for him!
Hope he will be a good addition to Riyadi.
His CV is good and he seems a well experienced player.

Great player, EuroCup starting center level.

[Mindozas]

He also played for Žalgiris in 2007/08 season for a couple of months (from February), but got serious injury and felt out for almost all year and since then didn't hear that he'd play anywhere. Strong center, good defensively, really good personality. Don't know how affected him such long absence and he's not a youngster, but if he've got through it and will reach the same level I saw him playin' in my team, then he should be really nice addition. Wish him the best of luck

Thanks guys for the info.

Didn't play organized basketball for more then one year, it's never a good sign. Let's see what he can do

[Khalid80]

He used to be a descent player. I've watched a few games of him back when he was in the NBA.
Definitely a better option than Alexander.
His age and injury history however need to be highlighted.
Riyadi should act smart and not play him more than 20-25 minutes a game so that he can stay healthy and last till the end of the season.

Yea he was good but hopefully he can stay healthy and he is a lot better than Alex.
But about playing him 20-25 min well in the League we can do so with Vogel with the Riyadi, but in Asia it's not the same as u know. So I don't know if Abou Chacra can find a way out for that.

[Mindozas]

I've read that Mamadou was replaced with other foreigner in Riyadi's roster, why it was done? It's just because Riyadi found better candidate or it was another reason?

[Laziz]

He still had some problems with his knees.

Oh I see, sad to read that, was hoping that he fully recovered from his injuries and will be able to play, but seems not Thnx for info
