Ammo to Turkey

Adam Morrison would play for my team, Beşiktaş. If it was a few years ago, I would be beyond delighted. Right now, I just think how he can fit in our team. He can play right away because the guy at his position, Marcelus Kemp is injured. But thanks to the non-Turkish player limits in Turkish league, he would rarely get more than 20-25 minutes per game. But he can play more in Eurochallenge.

We will see. I am hopeful that he can contribute, judging his performance with Crvena Zvezda. Since I follow every Beşiktaş game very closely, I would keep you updated about him if he ever comes here.

[bing!]

I want to see Adam punch people, that was always amusing. :biggrin:

All jokes aside, I wanna see the bastard do well in Besiktas.

Ammo is officially headed to Turkey. This link confirms the deal in Turkish.

Tamb, do you know when he's expected to debut in Besiktas? They're supposed to play on 14th of January next, is he gonna be ready for that?

According to that tweet (in Turkish again) he'll land Turkey on Wednesday, and will be ready for his debut in the weekend. Since the guy he's supposed to replace is out for at least 2 months, I expect him to come off the bench and play like 10-15 minutes.

Actually there is a Eurochallenge game of Beşiktaş today, but there is no way can he make it.

He has passed the physical, but it's still unclear whether he'll make his debut on Saturday.

update on old Ammo

[bing!]

I hate looking up news regarding ammo and finding tons of useless stuff on the Giants' goalie that goes by the same name.

He played really well as a scorer in Turkey, had a high fg% and was scoring 15+ per game. After that, he either played very little or was riding the pine. Maybe he was injured in the meantime, I'm not sure, but I see no reason why they'd limit his playtime when he was outplaying other foreigners on the team. This ain't gonna help his consistency which he was finally starting to regain once he left for Europe.

He should come back to the States, I want him to become the new Scal, damn it.
