FLB 2009-10: signings and rumours

[daniab]

abt the league,probably it will be postponed till december 6th!

Guys Sean Colson of Antranik is a bombbbb, very good player!
he is like Tony Madison with a better vision.
Today he had 23pts and 10 assists in 28 mins in the win over Kahraba.

Well I don't see no bomb so far...
This guy suffered a serious injury 2 seasons ago and since then, his numbers drastically dropped.

23pts against Kahraba playing their first game of the preseason and without any import is very far from being impressive.

He might have been a bomb before but at 35 years old now, he will have to confirm that he's still a bomb.

100%...anyway if we assume that elections will take place to choose the federation...i think this time pierre kakhia's list will win without having idiots like rober abi abdallah...i dont know if u guys watched an episode on NBN 2 months ago...robert abi abdallah looked like an idiot cz that "fawwaz" guy ...destroyed him in the debate

rtk04 these idots u talking about are going to save basketball in lebanon and in that episode u mentioned fawaz looked like a clown and the dabate u talking about was far away from fawaz hands

Ricky Clemons got 30pt 12ast against Riyadi in arround 30 minutes, he lead hoops to a close finish loosing by just 3pt, and missing the 3pt that could have tied the game,I guess we have good point guards in the league next season.

But I would wait a little before comparing any of them to King Tony

 

[daniab]

kahraba sat on 2 foreigners,they are really good and will seriously add a lot of value.
the first one is 206cm and the other one is 188cm.

i will annouce the names in few days!

 

[Laziz]

Kahraba:: Their two imports should be Zachary Ingles and Malcom Battles

Anibal:: Ron Alexander might be back instead of Tisby, Slaughter future is not clear to.

Hoops: Changing Harper for another player his position, 2/3/4 but more physical then Harper.

 

[daniab]

Kahraba:: Their two imports should be Zachary Ingles and Malcom Battles

[Laziz]

I might understand Hoops move, I have seen some games from them in this pre season, and they seem to be playing a run and gun system with 4 perimeter player and one big man (Hamdar), a tall center would have hurt their system. Hoops will be a hard team to play.

As for Mottahed, I honestly don't understand their move, Bojic is already not a center he is a 3/4 and same thing for Christiensen, and coach Vujanic teams usually play set offense. Last season they had Roy, this season they just have no one to play under the basket. On the other hand I don't remember Chritiensen to be a great player, He was ordinary with Zain, not superb with al Arabi, and was averaging 7ppg in Spanish 3rd division, I also heard they were talking to much higher level players. Weird decision

Demetrius brown is a good player....mike christensen is also good but not that level of import who can give titles for a team...however he is needed due to lack of good players in his position at mouttahed

they were talking to a Nigerian guard,and another American who played last year in China.Both are way better than Christensen and would have been great additions.
I dont understand this move from Mouttahed!

yeah really weird decision especially after riyadi signing two outstanding foreigners

 

[gazara]

i think muttahed need a leader ,all their players are young the can t lead their team (as rami ,moe ,bassem ,lakkis ...)mike christensan is good and he can fit 3 pos but not for muttahed they need a player like darren kelly ,tim pickett ,rasheim... i think in the league they will change him (about his statistics he s bad !!! spain 3 div 6 ppg...)but in zain he was good but not the LEADER !!!
about alex bojic i heard that he s a very good player ,but let s wait for the league !!

about sagesse ,i heard that they contact a very high level players
one on pos 1 and the second on pos 4( don t know their names )
