well I missed this one - what happened to Fulkerson ?
I'm not sure it's anything new. Last December he dislocated his elbow and messed up his wrist to where it needed surgery. Then, correct me if I'm wrong, didn't he also have his shoulder worked on? Maybe I'm mixing them up... there've been so many. Do we have an injury thread that lists who/what/when?
Sorry but I was only a 6'5" NAIA player Bruce Bowen type. No handles to speak of but I could defend the hell out you in the post and hit the occasional 3. I'm way past my prime but I can still kick a** in the over 40 league. Ha!
The most athletic play of the night was Pon's block of Clark's layup attempt. No way he was nursing an ankle injury to get the extension he got swatting that ball away 2 feet above the rim.
Yup, I have a feeling we are going to get a lot of that from Pons this season. Flashes of his insane athletic ability, but outside of that a very raw player who has a ways to go. I wasn't surprised by his inability to do much offensively, playing against zone probably is something he's really not used to and isn't the best way for him to take advantage of his athletic ability.
