Leonard Houston MVP of Euro summer league

[DUBulldog]

Sounds like Leonard will find a nice paying job in Europe:

The Co-MVPs are Leonard Houston (191-G-85, college: Drake) and Kyle Lamonte (191-G-84, agency: Beggs and Lane, college: William Carey) of the London team. Both of these players were spectacular over the three day tournament and were offered jobs by the Ukrainian and Lithuanian teams. Both of these guys have Euroleague or NBA potential.

Leonard Houston is an explosive combo guard from Drake University in 2007-08 (2nd Team All Missouri Valley Conference) that has excellent quickness and NBA shooting range. He had some amazing dunks that brought the fans in Chicago out of there seats.

Kyle Lamonte is a high level point guard with excellent size and athleticism who dominated play with his scoring ability, passing and defense. Kyle is a NAIA All American from William Carey that will be playing at the Euroleague level soon and has the whole package.

Both of these guys dominated players all week that had professional experience in Europe, NBDL, CBA and other professional leagues in the United States.

His catch and throw down on that alley oop were one of the great highlights from last season. That SOB was four feet off the floor.

Thanks! I was dying for a Thrashers/Leafs update!

DU will miss Emmenecker but I think Houston may be the one missed more. You don't replace that type of athleticism {combined with a dagger 3 here and there} in the MVC every day.

You are a wise man. Every Drake fan I've talked to agrees with you. The guy replacing Korver is better than Korver.....the point guards who will be taking over for Emmenecker are capable of doing things that Emmenecker couldn't.....but we don't have anybody to take Leonard's spot.

Hopefully that puts you back at the bottom:innocent:
