Mbeng

to sign 2 yr deal w jazz; one guaranteed beyond this yr

if poulakidas sticks w mavs or even if he doesnt —having 3 ex players in nba at once for a moment is historic in modern day terms

penn might have had maloney, allen and bowman bouncing arnd at once for a minute in the late 90s?

lot of headwinds but this is incredible really.

No, the 3 Penn players did not play together. Allen: '95-97; Maloney: '96-'03; Bowman: '99-'02 But close.

That is both remarkable and impressive.
I am not surprised about Wolf and Poulikaidis,
but did not see the NBA in Meng’s future.
There goes the scouting gig.

Mbeng has some it factors that are hard to coach. But I too did not expect him to catch on in the NBA. Good for him!

From the way this article reads, it appears that Mbeng’s playing time is part of Utah’s tanking strategy.

What’s Oni doing these days? Played for the Jazz for a bit?

He played 48 minutes in a regulation game yesterday which is frankly just absurd in any situation.

It was Tuesday, but who’s keeping score? Still he had 26 points on 12-16 shooting…but was a -19 in an important loss (for tanking purposes) to the woebegotten Pelicans

Bad win over the equally tanking Griz

Poulakidas with 22 points in a quarter almost set a mavs record!
