[Benji 0]

CBA '16-'17 stats

 

Jamaal Franklin

34.7 ppg

10.2 rpg

8.6 apg

3.5 spg

 

Hamed Haddadi

26.0 ppg

16.0 rpg

4.4 apg

2.0 bpg

 

 

Franklin is 1st in assists, 1st in steals, and 4th in points.

Haddadi is 2nd in rebounds, and 4th in blocks.

 

Although I loved Haddadi, I realize that the CBA is a different tier, and I'm not advocating for either to be brought back. I just wanted to congratulate former Grizzlies for finding success overseas!

The competition looks really bad on film.

Film can be deceiving. What's important is to blame Joerger for not playing these players enough in Memphis.

Well, imagine in person.

CBA is a bad league compared to western leagues though.

 

But it's our FO's fault for not developing them, look at Mejri at Dallas get minutes.

Hamed is a lot better than that guy.

Are you talking about the 50 point drubbing? I'm not really getting your point.

correct

 

My point is that I am agreeing with Dwash (and probably yourself) the competition is bad.

 

But hey, good luck to two former Grizzlies who are prospering and continuing to make a living out of their love...

You got that right. Glad to see you are finally seeing the light of day.

Interrupt the meaningful conversations for a Hamad Haddadi update

 

 

 

I know that the majority of posters probably know the "max contract coming in" is a joke, but for those posters who take this too seriously, the tweet also mentions that Hamad is only 35 and has some room to grow still.

Hamed is one of the good guys, thanks for the update.

Fairly certain he still smokes a cigarette at half time.

Free Haddadi!

Coach Hesam still drops by every now and then with updates in the NBA thread section for those that don’t navigate round them parts.

Hamed is just the definition of a baller

My favorite memory of him was a game against the Cavs in which he set a pick and Lebron tried to go over him. Hamed hip checked him and Lebron ended on his butt and with a puzzled look while Hamed just stayed grinning at him.

I thought that pick, if it is the same one you mentioned, was the classic case of NBA preferred player getting beneficial call over NBA nobody.  Pete agreed.

That was the one!
