Colonials In The Pros


The holiday season is officially over and apparently there has been a lot of professional basketball played since my last post. I apologize profusely, but there were fruit cakes to not eat and sweaters from grandmothers to not wear and Xmas trees to not want to decorate but end up decorating anyway.

In the D-league, Carl Elliot appears to continue to make good strides in improving his shooting percentage, going 5-8 from the field for 11 points off the bench for the Sioux Falls Skyforce. That is a totally sweet team name, it just oozes minor league cool.

Mike Hall, on the other hand, seems to be going through a rough patch on the shooting accuracy department going 1-8 from the field including 0-4 from 3. He did sink 4-5 free throws in his last effort to finish with 6 points.

More after the jump.
In the CBA Dokun Akinbade continues his strong play with 12 and 11 and 3 blocks for Vermont in their latest victory. That Community All-Star needs to start pulling his weight. Sheesh.

In Italia Pops Mensah-Bonsu is back in the starting line up for Euro powerhouse Benetton Treviso. Pops had a strong showing scoring 15 and grabbing 9 boards. His Tiri Liberi percentage is the same old same old, as he sank only 3 of 9 from the line.

JR Pinnock's Rhodes team picks up a victory in a low scoring affair on the road in Greece. JR has proven to be a capable go-to scorer for the team and notches 13, 3, and 2.

There's more to come both at home and abroad from our former Colonials, but I've got a fruit cake to throw away.
