how tall is this sanders guy i heard about? i hear he played great defense against wade. did he do anything in particular that made it seem like wade was getting frustrated? did he take any shots? i looked at the box score but cant remember. how tall is he? anyone got a full body pic?

how does ford dunk? with emphasis or just to get the 2 points? who does his game resemble? how else did he score? jumpshots or post moves? how is his defense and rebounding? any plays in particular you liked? anyone got a full body pic?

thanks in advance. when i was reading the posts last night it sounded like we may have another devin brown in sanders...lets hope he pulls the offense out sometime like devin did.

Sanders is 6'5. He's a good defender. He's not known for offense but averaged about 18ppg in the CBA last season with one huge 54point/16 rebound performance

Ford, I honestly don't know a lot about. He's a skinny PF and about 6'8-6'9. He was absolutely horrible on NJ's summer league team in Vegas, but that team was about the worse run team I've ever seen.

Here's Melvin Sanders. He's the one on D.

Search here (http://gettyimages.com) for more pics of Ford. You can't post them here though because they are copyrighted/watermarked.

how does ford dunk? with emphasis or just to get the 2 points?Didn't see much of that, but he did punk Maryland pretty badly last season -- maybe Jim could tell you....
who does his game resemble? how else did he score?A smaller Chris Wilcox maybe.
jumpshots or post moves?10-feet and closer if last night is any indication.
how is his defense and rebounding?Very active but not terribly smart on D. Good rebounding instincts but needs to bulk up to get and keep position.
any plays in particular you liked?Posted up Walker nicely -- didn't give him time to swipe the ball like Duncan did.

damn Sanders looks like a stud( in a not gay way)! he looks cut and solid. ford is skinny but he seems like he has an athletic body. hopefully we can involve him in a few pick and rolls a-la-nash and amare if he has good hands and an agressive mindset

im ok. had some real good times during the playoffs. hung out in sports bars to watch the games. i think ginobili won over the hispanic population on st croix because there are a lot of puerto ricans on st croix, and most of them were backing detroit because of arroyo. but when they saw ginobili go off they started to cheer for him. it was a good experience tho. with almost the whole bar cheering for the spurs and jeering the couple detroit fans that were in there...good times
