There is a good highlight at about 1:30 where Tiago finishes with some skill around the basket.

Nando De Colo Valencia ACB (Spanish League): 5-1 EuroCup : 0-0

Age: 22 Height: 6' 5" Weight: 185 2nd round, 53rd pick, 2009

EuroCup doesn't get underway for two more weeks so we'll only get one game a week from Nando for a bit.

This week Valencia improves to 5-1 wtih 82-67 win over Fuenla. Nando again turned the ball over 5 times. His 10 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists are nice though. He seems to do a good job of stuffing the stat sheet. Both good and bad stats.

Not many highlights of Nando, but Victor Claver throws down a pretty nasty dunk.

James Gist ????

Age: 23 Height: 6' 9" Weight: 220 2nd round, 57th pick, 2008

James isn't in the D-League. He's not anywhere I can find him.
