Pops Mensah Bonsu

Thu Sep 6 13:05:06 CDT 2007

I've been following this thread with mild lack of interest (the identities of our #10-14 players has never been a matter occupying much of my time), but now I am convinced that there really IS a guy named Pops Mensah Bonsu.? There is, right?? You all aren't just pulling my leg?

You know, I don't think it would hurt the team to add another veteran big to sit 
at the end of the bench.  Someone we could use for fouls/garbage time.  For the 
veteran minimum, I would take a look at Dale Davis or Jake Tsakiladas

watched all the SL games and came away impressed w/Wallace and before Posey came 
on thought he would be the rookie to see the most action. He looks to be a very 
good help defender, w/hops in the pre-injury T.A. realm but taller. He didnt 
take many jumpers but the ones he did of the mid range variety he looked good 
taking. He played Center in college and I know he is not a real center or wide 
body but certainly should be able to defend both the forward postions and 
rebound; IMO would look good when paired with either Perkins or KG or both for 
short periods. Can Bonsu play spot to backup center minutes? If not the final 
roster spot should go to a player that can.

Bonsu is the type of player that will shake loose from teams as camp cuts start 
to occur. C's should be able to find a decent young up-side or grizzled vet to 
be a end-of-bench sub for a position of need. Patience is all that is required.

Go C's

just
waived by the Mavs, and imo, this guy is definitely much better than Wallace
and Manuel. He's been nbdl mvp and shows a lot of promise in mavs tho he
couldn't get the pt he wants as dirk, dampier and diop won't get displaced
anytime soon. Plays above the rim, blocks every shot in his area, huslter/
up and down the court type of player... though i don't know if he's got some
'intangibles' in him like Wallace. (hey ryan..wink wink) hehehe

anyways, i think if we need a young hustler type, this IS the guy we need to
give a chance to... just the same, i hope Brandon Wallace proves me wrong
and that he's a better player than pops m bonsu.
