another decent game for POB...
27 min, 4-9, 6 rebs, 8 pts, 2 blks
helped his team to a win to go 2-2 in the summer league.

In four summer league games POB is averaging 11.3 ppg, 6.3 rpg, 2 blks, and only 1.7 TO
also- for the 2nd straight game Bryan Mullins DNP...injured??

playing for the Knicks, Blake Ahearn had 10 pts in 16 min..

today's summer games are started and POB has his Raptors ahead 53-50 in the 3th quarter in a low scoring game.
At half Patrick had 8 pts/5 reb, was 4-4 from the floor and had 3 steals!

Go Patrick...make some noise...you could be the starting center on the Raptors

for the Bucks, Brandon Jennings has 6 turnovers at half!

31 minutes - 5-5 shooting - 11 points - 7 rebounds - 3 steals

How many fouls though? POB has always been able to get the offense in the NBA, just has that dang foul problem.

Toronto Signs Nesterovic

I see Toronto signed another center yesterday.

It also appears he only had 16 fouls in 147 minutes. Which would be about 3 fouls per 30 minutes of game time. Although that was the highest on the team and tied with 2 others at 16. I'm wondering if it was really higher but they capped it at 16. Not to shabby though.

It's great to be excited for a former BU player, but those are summer league numbers and don't transfer into the NBA any more than NBA2k10 number would. Reports from summer league that I've read about him say that he's mainly taking outside jumpers and not rebounding or playing defense well, which is what Toronto really needs out of a center. The signing of Rasho pretty much eliminates POB from any meaningful playing time, and he may be bought out.

However, centers can stay in the league forever. It does sound like POB has progressed as a player, but idk if he'll be in Toronto all of next year.

reportedly POB is signed with Toronto at near the minimum, which makes him economically, a steal...to have a backup center for that price...so word is he will likely stay there, but time will tell.
