Shelden is playing today, hopefully he puts up some decent numbers...I'd watch if it was on TV.

Shelden's debut at Kings

5minutes, 3points, 3rebounds, 2 turnovers, 1 foul.

And he got to see McRoberts today

You forgot the block!

ah, my bad.

And Shelden made the frontpage of Kings website today

Looking very sharp in purple, although Duke Blue is the best for him.

Shelden's 2nd game as a King.
10 minutes, 3-5 shooting, 2-3 FT, 8 points total.
not bad!

I just think we could use some good news after the loss.

And another block!

I think Shelden is going to get a chance to contribute meaningfully on this team.

One question though. It seems like because of his hight he would be more of a PF than a C, so why is he always listed as a center? I guess its all really just basketball semantics, but I just never understood.

I would guess because he is playing the 5 position and not the 4.

Dave Cowens had a pretty good career with Boston as a 6'7" center 30+ years ago, and he was undersized even back then.

I don't pay much attention to the NBA and I was surprised to find Shelden is in France. Also, it messes me up that he's almost 30.

and Dahntay is still in the NBA, with the Mavs.

Our friend awhom111 does a great job of keeping us updated on Shelden in the Dukies in Europe and other places outside the USA thread.
