Have you talked with him lately, Kori?

[Kori Ellis]

Before the holidays, I did. He was coming to the states for Christmas but I haven't talked to him since. I'll call his old cell phone number tomorrow and see if it works.

[Kori Ellis]

He called me tonight during the Spurs game -- thus I missed almost the whole 2nd quarter because I was talking to him on the phone from the restroom (so I could hear).

He's doing fine. He didn't have a great stretch in Italy. His team sucked; he wasn't getting a lot of touches. He had an opportunity to come back to the states and start on the CBA team. So that's where he is right now.

[T Park]

Good luck to him.

Hell more than likely catch an NBDL eye, then maybe an NBA eye.

[ChumpDumper]

I don't think he's started yet, but he's doing quite well in his first five games:

24.8 min, 12.3 pts, .581 fg%, 5.0 reb, 1.3 ast, 1.0 blk

He and Tommy Smith will be starting soon.

[Kori Ellis]

You are right, he hasn't started yet. But that's the plan it seems.

He called me from Tommy Smith's cell phone actually (Noel hasn't gotten a new one yet). They were in Sioux Falls watching the team that they are going to be playing tomorrow night.

I think that Tommy Smith is an NBA player. He's really long and can finish. I think he'll be in the league soon.

Noel Felix has a chance. He just needs to bulk up and really work on his all-around game. It'd be awesome to see FSP's own in the league one day.

Good luck.

If James Thomas can make it....

[T Park]

hell, if Wang Zi Zi is still in the league......

[Kori Ellis]

Noel Felix has a chance.

Well, I lectured/consoled/mentored him enough tonight that he should have a good game plan now. :lol If he works hard, he'll make it. He has a good head on his shoulders, great athleticism, a good heart and a strong faith.

seems like a great kid, hope he can keep himself focused and chase that dream, wish we could all do it sometimes.

I don't think he's started yet, but he's doing quite well in his first five games:

They both started for the first time last night.

Noel led the team with 19 points, 13 boards, 2 blocks in 35 minutes. But he fouled out :( and they lost by 2.

Tommy Smith had 16 points, 6 rebounds, 6 steals.
