Haddadi has put up some huge numbers this season... Points and rebounds that is.

Kazemi has missed 1/3 of his team's games and have put up some ordinary numbers, though his rebounding numbers are still huge as expected.

Kamrani has been pretty good too. He has been at a good level.

[Ab-Gosht]

so hamed and arsalan are 1st and 3rd in league in rebounds! Even kamrani is 20PPG wow he doesn't even have 20ppg in TM against weaker teams. sick stats for all 3 really didnt expect it

Ordinary among "NBA caliber" players in the Chinese league... U wanna compare him to some Chinese kids playing in that league?! lol

There are NBA players in that league and what stat would be an NBA caliber numbers?

[Masoud_A]

he's 3rd in steals (2.8 per game) and 2nd in rebounds (14.9 per game)

haddadi is #1 in rebounds

Arsalan is pulling down 13.6 rebounds per game (5th) in 15 games while Hamed (14.5 RPG) has played 24 is sitting at 2nd only to a guy who has played 10 games. But that's beside the point, we know he has great hands, he is yet to show even an average consistent offensive game. In a league where the leading scorer is averaging 40PPG, scoring 20 points a few times isn't impressive. I expected AK to average 20/13 not 14/13 in the CBA. Averaging about the same numbers in Iran and the CBA while playing 10 minutes more a game, what does that tell you?

well the rebounding average changes game by game so one day haddadi is on top, other days someone else. its not permanent. and the amount of rebounds you get depends on how the game goes, how many shots are missed by the other team or who else on the team is pulling rebounds besides arsalan. there is lots of factors involved. he is on a shitty team that keeps losing so yes its hard to have him do everything on the floor.

the fact is sixers are still interested in him, they havent released him of his contract and they keep putting updates on their site about their foreign players like arsalan and a few others. so they do see something special in him. i believe he will get a contract this year either by sixers or some other team.

one thing is clear, he should have taken the deal from Sixers, at least he would have played in nba for 2 season, at a very minimum. I do not even think he can come back to nba now

Arsalan needs to move to the NBA. Going to the Chinese league helped him learn a new style of play. But the NBA is where his sights should be.

He is in limbo right now because sixers havent offered him a contract and they own the rights to him in the US
But this summer is the end, he will either get a contract from sixers or they release his rights. At that point he can try to get try outs at other teams and get a contract from another team. These are all the posinilities but if not he'll prob stay in china and wipe up the money

Any news on Arsalan getting back into the NBA?

Any news on Arsalan getting back into the NBA?

we'll find out by probably june/july time frame. right now nothing is going on until the season ends and then theres the draft. 76ers got some picks and then there will be summer camp. during summer camp they evaluate all these players and arsalan will be joining that camp. at that point they decide on contracts. Arsalan most likely will get a contract because they've held on to him this long. They've had trades earlier this season and could've easily released him but they didnt. So it means they want him or will let him go to another team. So worst case is he wont get a contract and will be released to go talk to other teams. Right now he's stuck in a situation that he cant do anything because legally he cant talk to other teams as 76ers own his right in US. He can sign with foreign teams but not NBA teams. This summer they HAVE to either give him a contract or he will be free to talk to other teams.

talk about him screwing it up!! he should have taken the 2 year contract, it would have been better with one foot in the door. right now he is in a peculiar situation that he may never come back to nba as every year there is new crop of players from ncaa and foreign players that are game ready.

. What 2 yr contract? As far as i know he never had one. They just hold his rights in US so he couldnt get a contract with anyone.
