Pops Mensah-Bonsu Drops 19 & 10 on Memphis
GB forward Pops Mensah-Bonsu made a statement to the New Orleans Hornets’ management on Monday night, dropping a 19 point, 10 rebound double double on the Memphis Grizzlies in a 96-91 loss for the Hornets.
Mensah-Bonsu is averaging 5 points and 5.5 rebounds in just under 15 minutes per game through 6 games of the pre-season thus far, making his case for keeping his roster spot throughout the 2010/2011 season.
Pops added 1 assist, 4 steals and a blocked shot in his 32 minutes of action (not to mention a nice alley oop dunk off a lob from Chris Paul which can be seen at the 0.49s mark of the below video).
The Hornets’ pre-season will finish this Thursday against Oklahoma City.
Do you like our work?
We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.
We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.
We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.
If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.
We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
