Pops Mensah-Bonsu Connects with Carlos Arroyo for Nasty Plays!

By Sam Neter on February 1, 2014

GB star Pops Mensah-Bonsu and Galatasary teammate Carlos Arroyo have been forming one of the nastiest 1-2 punches in Europe this season and they showed it again this week with a handful of nasty plays.

Bonsu, who is averaging 10.6 points, and 9 rebounds in Euroleague action this season, finished with 8 points and 4 rebounds on 3/4 shooting vs Zalgiris on Friday night and had these two nice finishes.

First he caught the nice no look pass from Arroyo and finished reverse:

Then he caught the nice two handed lob:

He also continues to do well domestically in Turkey in TBL action, averaging 10.8 points and 7.4 rebounds, having one of the best outings of his season last week, finishing with a 14 points, 15 rebound double double against Efes – and finishing this nice lob:

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.
