The Beast.................

Name: John Smith
Height: 6'8
Position: Power Forward
College: Virginia Commonwealth
Signed: 2003/04 and 2004/05

The Beast eh? One thing you could not fault 6'8 John Smith for was effort, but he wasn't the most intimidating big guy we have had by a long way. John's speciality move was a laboured spin move on the low block, followed by an attempted lay up which would usually end with John doing a huge star jump up to the backboard with the ball halfway back down the court in the hands of an opposing player..........

A nice guy, and a true "gentle giant" now playing back in Finland i believe.
