POPS WATCH: THINGS LOOKING SHAKY?

By Greg Tanner on October 14, 2010

Pops Mensah-Bonsu’sÂ quest to win a roster spot with New Orleans has taken a couple of knocks this week.

Why? Because theÂ Hornets have justÂ signedÂ another bigÂ man, D.J. Mbenga, to a one year deal toÂ bolster the team’sÂ front line.

Meanwhile, the GB forwardÂ has seen his pre-season playing time drop from 12 minutes to 10 to five.

In last night’s win against a LeBron-less,Â Wade-less Miami Heat, Pops only recorded one stat…a turnover.

In lighter news, however, Pops revealed this week he’d had his first peanut and jelly sandwich. “It was an over-rated experience but was still good,” he told his Facebook fans.

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.
