Olimpia Milano targeting Pops Mensah-Bonsu

Il lungo inglese seguito per allungare la rotazione sotto canestro

Olimpia Milano is still on the market to finish the roster for the coming season. The Italian team already signed Omar Cook and Antonis Fotsis and will announce soon Jacopo Giachetti, Ioannis Bourousis and Malik Hairston.
The new name for AJ Milano is Pops Mensah-Bonsu. The British big man spent already one season in Italy with Benetton Treviso few years ago and then has played between NBA and Europe without big fortunes.
Pops started last season in the NBA with New Orleans Hornets but after seven games with 0.3ppg and 1.6rpg moved to France to ASVEL with whom he scored 16.5ppg and grabbed 9.3rpg.

Milano wants Pops Mensah-Bonsu to strenghten the frontline which has now Antonis Fotsis, Ioannis Bourousis, Mason Rocca and Benjamin Eze (the center will likely leave) plus Stefano Mancinelli who will be small forward in the plans of Sergio Scariolo.

dopo la negatività di bouroussis credo che tal interessa vada a cadere... cercheranno un centro italiano anche di medio livello (maggioli? cusin? chi ne ha uno?)

io invece come cambio lo trovo di livello, per i minuti giocati ha sempre avuto cifre buone, anche a toronto pur giocando tanto garbage lo trovavo interessante, poi zompa come pochi

Mi convince poco questa notizia. E' un 2,06 che nella sua carriera è rimasto per un intero anno in una squadra solo a Treviso, se non sbaglio. Se fosse vero, dopo i colpi di cannone sparati fin'ora si passerebbe ad un colpo di schioppo.
