Ian played his fifth game of the season today so i guess it is time for a rapid update.
for the impatient here are his stats.
5 games average: 8,2pts 4rbds(1 offensive) 1 steal 1 turnover shooting 66% (27 attempts) from the field and 62% FT (shot only 8 so hard to judge) all this in 17mn a game.
Now for the other interested in a little more than stats here is the situation:
- His team is doing really good. they finished with a .500 record last year but already have won 4 at of their 5 games against some good team including the champion.
- he is sharing the interior with a veteran called Pat Durham and jK Edwards.
Ian Mahinmi is giving a great opportunity and great confidence since he has been starter for all the games. the other reason is the interior sector is weak and not the strenghts of the team but they hope Ian development will change this so he is given every bit of opportunity to grow. it explains why the spurs said it was a good environment.
- some of you wonder after this why he is given only 17mn a game? he has been limited because of foul trouble to 11min in the 2 first game and 15 in the one today.
take out: Ian is making the transition from good surprise last year to not only a regular contributor but the boss of the team interior sector. the transition seems a bit hard but if you look at the numbers in given minutes it is fairly honest and good on the progress scale for his fiorst games as a starter. He never gives up.
In today's game he was benched in nearly all the 4th until durham fouled out. Ian got in for the last mn with his team leading by two without the ball. He got in and got the precious defensive rebound. (sharp)
so nothing extraordinary but moving along the road of proving hiself in france before moving in SA
PS: the other rising star for le havre is aldo Curti, he is one of the potential back up for Tony on the french national team. he is known for his defense and great passing abilities and will have all the automatisms with Ian...potential prospect?
