        • Seoul Samsung Thunder head coach Park Su-Ho sounded confident in a video interview in the Thunder's official page about import Peter John Ramos being integrated into the uptempo game of the Thunder.

          I think Park will not neglect the half-court set and Ramos will be an integral part of that set where a half-court offense sets will be running through Ramos for the Thunder to dictate tempo and assert control.

          • Incheon ET Land Elephants's foreigner JACKSON VROMAN broke his nose in training camp and is off to the states for surgery. No word on when he'll rejoin the club. Not a good way to kick off training camp.

                  • Must Win

                    I have been reading various interviews on the 2012 Naturalized Free Agents of Jon Tae-Pong (KCC Egis) Moon Tae-Young (Changwon LG Sakers) and Lee Seung-Jun (Seoul Samsung Thunder). All of them emphasized winning a championship for their team as a farewell gift.

                    I'll rate the three team's chances:

                    1. KCC Egis - Jon is aiming for a repeat and given that they are the defending KBL champions, he and his team has the best chance among the three.

                    2. Samsung Thunder - The arrival of Peter John Ramos could potentially be a game changer for this team and maybe for the whole league as well. KCC Egis demonstrated on how teams can be contenders with a dominating bigman in their Ha-Seung Jin. Ramos could spell the difference for this team this season.

                    3. Changwon LG Sakers - The team has front court depth and a potential one-two punch in Moon and import Magnum Rolle. The aging Seo Jang-Hoon still has something left in the tank to make a difference but the chances of LG is how they will find success with Kim Jin's triangle offense.

                        Saw the article on jumpball as well.. It was super unclear tho.. are they accusing LG of some sort of under the table deal? Or is it just that Yahoo has the wrong figure....which seems way more likely.

                        • Rumor has it that Magnum Rolle is on the way out due to foot injury that got worst during the team's training in Japan.

                          Names like former SK Knights import Marquin Chandler are being eyed to replace Rolle.

                            Jumpball is reporting that he's gone and has been replaced... By OLUMIDE OYEDEJI, former supersonics pf.

                            • Oyedeji's presence gives us the rebounding, defense and shot blocking needed for the Sakers' interior. Oyedeji may not contribute to the offense but his length and presence could translate to second chance points.

                              Something that Magnum Rolle would have not contributed. Meaning, Seo can come off the bench and not tire with heavy minutes.

                              Oyedeji is also the captain of the Nigerian national team.

                                Maybe.. He'll also be one of the oldest imports in the league.. Pairing him up with Seo as the twin towers makes for an old set of towers. I'm sure they'd like to bring Seo off the bench but when they match up with teams who have a big Korean (Kcc, Wonju), they're probably going to need his size as a starter.

                                Rolle is actually taller so I'm not sure it makes much of a difference in terms of shot blocking or second chance points. Last year in China Oyedeji averaged a block a game, Rolle averaged a bit more than that per game in the D-League. I'd probably take Rolle's youth and athleticism over Oyedeji's heavier build. I'm sure in the long run it'll even out though. With only a few weeks before the season starts lets hope LG can put their triangle together (or not).
