Pops Mensah-Bonsu - EuroBasket 2009 Profile

Team 2008-09: TORONTO RAPTORS (USA-NBA)
Career: George Washington (USA-NCAA, 2002-06), Dallas Mavericks (USA-NBA, 2006-07), Forth Worth Flyers (USA-NBDL, 2006-07), Benetton Treviso (Italy-LegaA, 2007-08), CB Granada (Spain-ACB, 2008), DKV Joventut Badalona (Spain-ACB 2008), Austin Toros (USA-NBDL 2009), San Antonio Spurs (USA-NBA, 2009)

A huge favourite with fans, the forward provides the passion and kind of spark that few others can offer because of his incredible athleticism and energy. Explosive and sharp in the paint, he has terrific athletic ability and loves to play above the rim by slamming down spectacular dunks and alley-oops. However 'Pops' is more than just a compilation clip of spectacular plays for the youtube generation. He can break really fast, run the floor and finishes well in traffic. Rebounding and blocking shots is never a problem. His mid-range jump shot is decent enough although he doesn't really have any kind of perimeter game and some think he can sometimes lose his focus. However his strengths far outweigh any weaknesses. He is a massive talent, great character around the camp and likely to be one of the stars of the tournament. His influence on this GB team will be just as huge as it was during qualification.
