cette saison, il tourne 0.6 pt et 1 rb par match. le problème c'est qu'il ne joue pas beaucoup. il n'a joué que 17 minutes en 7 matchs.
son équipe est malheureusement 10ème et avant dernière de la Big Ten Conference avec un total de 6 victoires pour 8 défaites au 30 décembre 2006...
N.B.: pour ceux que ça intéresse, j'ai la liste des joueurs internationaux en Basketball NCAA. je la mettrai sur mon blog à la demande. il y a une cinquantaine de pays concernés...
