Definitely not a SF, because his JR is kind of lacking. He's pretty similar to Iriarte but not much to Himadas. He's again one of those nice LI point guards, because he has some IS, but unlike Iriarte he has a respectable JS and inept JR (not great, but a slight improvement). Slightly worse IS (mediocre to average) and awful rebounding, but average ID means he can defend the SF like Iriarte. This will probably move Himadas to the backup SF come playoff time. His best asset is his sensational passing. I got him for a couple of reasons: (1) Most important reason, he fits the traditional Tornadoes PG model (less OD but good passing/driving, IS, ID), (2) he's fairly young/cheap, so he'll be around for a while as a backup at least, (3) I don't want your perimeter defense to interrupt my offensive flow if I can help it. From everything I hear that's what kills LI.

Oh, one other thing: he was injured now, which means I can buy him for less, but he'll be healthy when I need him. I like buying injured players, more likely to get a bargain (see: Faina, Rafael).

He's only injured for a week, having been injured in a scrimmage this past Thursday. So he should be healthy on Saturday for that game and the first playoff game, and barring an injury in one of those, he'll be ready to play against your team. As for the 136 points, I experience a similar feeling when I see that your defense held them to 39 points.

Oh, one other thing I should mention about the newest KT point guard: he has prominent free throw shooting ability, which should come in handy if you're fouling a lot.

I don't have money at all. This shopping spree that I was hoping for today, is failing. Big time. :c

Do you know why it doesn't say in the announcements when you buy a player? You know, that message e.g "Kittanning Tornadoes has just acquired Li Zhizhi for $ 70 400"? I haven't seen that for either Wang Zuhao or your latest acquisition. Strange.

Sometimes it doesn't show when you bought someone. Like a while back I think I said "Whoa I didn't even notice your new player." Which was Tulio. Sometimes it just doesn't show.


You know you want him...

Just for kicks, I'll put a starting bid on him. But if I get outbid even once, I'm not raising the price. If I don't get him for $3000, too bad.

Guess you gave up on scrimmages? Or you just don't need them anymore.

My key players all got good minutes, and I'm not sure how much I want to risk an injury. I don't really have any good trainees who aren't starters who need minutes, so the only reason would be GS for backups. Weighing the pros of that versus the cons of potential injury/potentially giving too much minutes, I decided against it for this week. If the backups' GS is too bad, I might change that in time for my game against you.

By the way, I'm feeling generous. Do you want Angelo Iriarte or Li Zhizhi to start at PG against you come Saturday, assuming they're both healthy?
