That ing sucks.
Ian mahinmi is coming to France with TP to reinforce the French Squad.
Offcial statement by Eurosport today!
That ing sucks.
He wasn't on the team before?
No he was in SA actually.. Just have been called today!!!
Why does it sucks? I think it is a good experience for him to go.. And Pop will have a look on his performance for sure. It could help him make a decision whether or not he will put him into the roaster this coming season.
this is good.
if dude gets injured Spurs will know for sure he is a damn bust and can concentrate on getting a big with plenty of time.
If he gets playing time, this would be good for Ian. Before summer league, he hadn't played a single game in a year, so playing for his national team could help shake some of the rust off.
Agreed.
Initially, I don't like it because I'm worried about one thing and one thing only: he's going to go over there, get injured, and be out to start the season again.
Frankly though, if that does happen, I think they just need to mark him down as a china doll and move on.
it sucks if he gets hurt
but he could actually use more game playing time since he has been not playing in a long time except for summer league
Why was Ian not initially chosen to play for the French squad?
Because he didn't play for 1 year !
Fair enough.
So finally everybody agree
until he gets hurt that is.So finally everybody agree
Good news.
French NT will stay in Pau (a french town) for more than a week. Ian will be able to practice against some quality players.
He has also a legit shot of getting some playing time. Most of the French NT bigmen are far from great. Pietrus has been great and Turiaf solid but the rest (Koffi, Petro and Traoré) have been quite bad.
Ian was in France one week ago to watch the NT playing in Paris. There were still some talk about him joining them. I quite doubt he went back to SA during this week.
I say he was sent by CIA pop to keep an eye on TP.
or, maybe CIA pop made a deal with the gods that if anymore injuries would occur it would be to ian and not tp.
im just speculating here
This should be good for Ian. He can build from his solid showing in SL and gain confidence in his game heading into the start of the season. Playing against better compe ion will also show Pop and co. where he is at physically and mentally.
This is definitely a good thing. He needs all the court time he can get, no matter where it is. All this does is make him more game ready going into the preseason.
I don't want Tony to play for France again, especially when Peter Holt has contributed so much for this year.
You can't always get what you want.
Let French fragile ankle fest 2009 begin anew.
That's nice. So how do you feel about Ian...since the thread is about him.
good news
It will, sort of, be like playing Toronto.
I would be surprised if Ian played the compe ion games: I know the interior department isn't great but he hasn't played for a while...
Anyway it's a good thing for everyone: he's gonna practice with them, get along with the team because he'll play for Les Bleus in years to come and get into rhythm for next season with the spurs.
