Mavs Did It Again....

[Flight3107]

Another Undrafted Rookie FA


Nana Papa Yaw Mensah-Bonsu



How this guy was not drafted is beyond me. :smokin

[BUMP]

he will need a lot of work. he has no offensive moves kind of like Tyrus Thomas

[ChumpDumper]

Meh. He's ok. He's got alot to learn to actually play in the NBA.

[StylisticS]

Whoa...getting a bit ahead of yourself there a bit. Let's see how this translate to the NBA. Not glorified NCAA Basketball.

[bulletedge]

I would settle for a center who can actually catch the ball when it is thrown to him.

[Flight3107]

Yeah, because obviously I am sending him straight to the HOF... :rolleyes

[ChumpDumper]

How this guy was not drafted is beyond me.If you saw him go for 1-7 against the likes of Anthony Fuqua and Brad Buckman Friday, you'd know why he wasn't drafted.

meh, he was already thinking about getting to vegas, it's no biggie...buckman wouldn't have anything on pops, can he even run anymore with all that weight he's put on?

anyway, the reason he didn't get drafted had more to do with his injury than with his skills...the kid needs to get a bit stronger and put on a bit more muscle and he'll be a very good player to have

[ChumpDumper]

meh, he was already thinking about getting to vegas, it's no biggie...buckman wouldn't have anything on pops, can he even run anymore with all that weight he's put on?That's the thing -- Pops often has problems with guys that match his size and strength and can play a lick of D -- and he's slightly undersized for the NBA. We'll see if he does any better here this Friday. If he was taking the day off looking forward to Vegas, that's even worse. BJ Elder scored 15 points in the first quarter and Loren Woods almost got a double-double in less than 20 minutes and they had to go to Vegas too. I never thought the Flyers would lose a game by 32 points with an NBA on the roster.

i agree, he does have size issues, but at least his size problems have to do with muscle/weight, something that can be remedied with a good trainer, he's got the height at 6'9"...after looking at the toros/flyers boxscore he shot poorly but he had a pretty good game in other ways, 7-8 FT shooting (haha!), 7 rebounds (high man), 2 steals, 2 assists and a blocked shot...anyway, is he going to be playing in austin against the toros this friday? for some reason i thought he might have been called up because devean george is out but i could be wrong

[Purple & Gold]

I think they called up Ager.

[ChumpDumper]

7 rebounds (high man)High for the Flyers. Buck and Woods had 10.anyway,
is he going to be playing in austin against the toros this friday? for some reason i thought he might have been called up because devean george is out but i could be wrongHe hasn't been recalled yet. If George is going to be out, he could be called up since this is his second stint in the D-League and he can be sent back one more time. He's got potential but he needs to learn some post moves other than knocking his defender out of the box.

[BUMP]

If you saw him go for 1-7 against the likes of Anthony Fuqua and Brad Buckman Friday, you'd know why he wasn't drafted.

Brad Buckman????

where is he playing?

[ChumpDumper]

Buckman is coming off the bench for the Austin Toros. Kris Clack is playing there too.

[ponky]

I think they called up Ager.

noooooooooooo!!! haha, they won't need him anyway, get well soon devean george!!!

[Dirk Nowitzki]

Ager=Bruce Bowen with offense
Papa=Poor Mans Elton Brand

[confined]

ballin?

[StylisticS]

Yeah, because obviously I am sending him straight to the HOF... :rolleyes

that's not the fuckin point. You act as if he did this in the NBA all star game. Let's see he do this against NBA competition. Then you can make a thread about this.

:lol :lol :lol .......... :rolleyes (psssst: he did make a thread about it and you posted in it, go fucking figure)

[Sacramental]

who cares about the mavericks.

[StylisticS]

:lol :lol :lol .......... :rolleyes (psssst: he did make a thread about it and you posted in it, go fucking figure)

I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to say with this. I never questioned him making the thread. I only said he is counting his chickens before they hatch with his performance against players trying to play on an NBA team consistently. If he can do this against NBA competition, then there would be no problem and I surely would be glad if he does so.

The definition of an excuse is in your first paragraph, Ponky. Now who is the homer? :lol

[Trainwreck2100]

Ager=Bruce Bowen with offense

i was talking about an nbdl game idiot and thus i was making a joke, both about buckman's weight (i doubt you even know who he is) and about mensah-bonsu... i could care less about an nbdl game between the flyers and the toros, get a clue and try to stay on topic...if you look at the other posts where i actually talk about mensah-bonsu i admit that he has problems with size

I understand where you're coming from but to be fair, nobody really knows how a player will play in the NBA until they actually play in the NBA and yet every year people have to analyze and hope for the best when they pick guys from the draft and there will always be excitement before the guy has even stepped onto the court. It's not like the original poster was calling Mensah-Bonsu the missing link to the Mavericks' quest for the championship, he was merely showing a bit of excitement about a guy who has recently been playing well. You may not have questioned him but you tried to define when he could make a thread about it as if he shouldn't be making threads about this topic. Anyway it doesn't matter, I hope he eventually becomes a contributor because in the end, that's the best thing for all us Mavs fans.

If you dont like it dont read it.



Anyways, lets get back on topic. Who will be Mensah-Bonsu's presenter when he goes into the HOF? :smokin

[Flight3107]

I don't know who will prwesent it, but Buckman will take it away like he did all those rebounds.

I dont know who will "prwesent" it either.

WTF?? what makes u think he will be even great at an NBA level. Our team hasnt done anything great yet and there are a bunch of posters declaring greatness in 3 point contests, future HOF's, championships etc.

The only thing we might get is our first division banner. everything else looks to be up in the air.

You know if someone makes sense like I did in the Allstar thread you cannot handle it. You have to call people names when you cannot understand stats or cannot come up with something that makes sense. Sure is sad that you have to stoop this low. Guess you cannot handle what you dish out.

stoop as low as you calling someone a "pussy"?...yeah, ok...next time try to understand the hilarity of the matchup before commenting, or maybe you know nothing about nbdl games

you make sense to yourself as a suns fan because you want to try and justify whatever the suns are doing at any given moment, go figure...your comments are never based on stats, stop being ridiculous, you have been called out by spurs and mavs fans, it's not just me

[Nashfan]

No, I don't care that much about NBDL games, big deal. I was just trying to show you that you make excuses for Mavs players from time to time like everyone does for their team. Nothing wrong with that, it is called being a fan not a homer as you put it. If I did not care about my favorite team then that would be unusual. Everyone on these message boards cares about their favorite team and defends them at some point. Still not a homer but a very active fan.

My comments are never based on stats?? Have you read any of my posts? When I do post stats that is when you run away from the conversation or say you are done talking. As to the "pussy" comment, do you even read what you write? You come off as so tough but you are not. You use more put downs than quite a few fans here do. Look in the mirror would you? :blah

Nah, not really, I mostly target 4-5 fans that I find annoying, I get along just fine with several fans of different teams, Spurs, Lakers, Suns, Pistons, Nuggets. You must be reading my comments in response to YOUR posts, because then you'd be right, I put you down easily and often. As for looking in the mirror, I do, and it makes me smile!

[ChumpDumper]

If he owns Pops again I'm going to make a buckmanlooms screen name.

[ponky]

he won't...uh, i think...maybe i'll go to that game (is it in austin?) after the obama rally

[ChumpDumper]

Yeah. 7:30 Friday.

If you like looking at an ugly person inside and I bet out. :lol

[ChumpDumper]

Pops got owned on the boards by a former Toro today and the Flyers go down again!

Toros are only four games behind them now! :ihit

Who says I didn't like it?

You may not have questioned him but you tried to define when he could make a thread about it as if he shouldn't be making threads about this topic.
That's understandable. I was just thinking that this would have been a great thread if it he did this in an nba game and did it consistently instead of the nbdl.

[Flight3107]

After thinking about it for a couple of hours, I finally figured it out.


Jose Juan Barea should be Pops presenter into the basketball HOF.

After all this is the Next big duo that the NBA will see.

[Chris Childs]

Owned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ponky]

Owned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

'the hell are u talkin' about? go back to sleep and wake up when the knicks are above 0.500
