Among the international recruits in Knight are four kids from the Milan Amatuer Basketball Club. One 5 star, two four stars and a solid player. Between the four, they averaged over 152 points per game last season. Has to be one of the most amazing youth basketball teams Europe has ever seen

I'm bored waiting on the wife- so here's some interesting stats on those kids-

They 'averaged' 152 points a game, but they didn't play all four very often- They had 32, 29, 24 and 19 games played, so they accounted for 3867 points.  Now let's assume they had a 32 game schedule- they only actually averaged 99.2 points per game between the four of them...  and they only averaged about 20 mins a game each.  So if the games were 32 minutes long... how many games could they win with 5 posters on this board and a 2nd grader filling out the rest of the team?

umm...32?

HS games in Colorado are (well, were in the late 90's) 32 minutes long- 4 8-minute quarters.

I'm guessing you misunderstood my post. I was answering the question of how many games the team would win (out of 32) with those 5 and 5 random old fat dudes from the forum...

I didn't catch it all but CBS college sports network- or whatever it's called -had a special on the upcoming NBA draft. Wally Zerbiak(sp?) introduced his dad, Walter, who apparently is some sort of expert on european basketball. Or spanish basketball. Or maybe bocce ball. As I said, I didn't catch it all.
