You know what I love (FBCB)...

[oykib]

I am playing a dynasty with Columbia and I have this pretty good SG on my team.

He's a guy from Russia who's 6'2, 175 lbs.

But he's got a jump rating of 89 and a strength rating of 51.

You wouldn't belive how many balls this guy tips in. It's also amazing how many lobs are thrown to him. It's like he gets a lob every other game-- not to mention dunking on his own two or three times a game.

In previous dynasties I rarely ever "watched"/coached the games unless they were big ones. With Columbia, every game-- particularly in-conference ones-- are important. They suck that much.

I never payed such close attention before.

It really is the most fun "watching" this guy even though he's the third-best player on the team.

Having such an amazing athlete in the Ivy League is something else.

Keep us updated on his career. Looks like its gonna be an interesting one.

I'm actually keeping track of him as part of a dynasty. I have written one since Baseball Mogul days. So I'm a little rusty.

Here's his player card. He's not that great a player--even for the Ivy League. But It is fun watching him go to work. His name just always seems to come up in some athletic play.
