 |
|
Korean (not Korean-American) Kim Jin Soo is playing bg-time college basketball at the Universty of Maryland. They say he's big and can shoot great! From my experience, Koreans do shoot very very well.
He'll be the first Korean-born man to play Division 1 basketball.
Here's a link to some information: http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/sports/college/maryland_terps/blog/2008/11/worth_the_wait.html
And here's what my friend said who watched him play in an exhibition game:
"JSK's shots haven't really been falling, but he's legit. He's the Korean Mike Dunleavy. 6'8, 200 lb. with a nice-looking and quick release. Definitely not afraid to shoot. If he's open, he's shooting it. For a guy who has practiced all of about 2 days, he's looking pretty competent on defense and now in the 2nd half is starting to put the ball on the floor and trying to take it to the hole as well. He's got a ton of confidence and is very active, looks like he belongs out there." |

Well, that certainly is random. Maryland sucks, either way...Tyler Hansbrough eats pieces of shit like you for breakfast.
Go Tar Heels |

"Freshman Jin Soo Kim scored 18 of his 20 points in the second half, Landon Milbourne also finished with 20, and Maryland cruised past Northwood 104-60 Saturday in the Terrapins' only men's basketball tuneup before the regular season."
