Id like to see his athleticism. Didnt he win a dunk contest in Europe? Thats not much i know, but it would be nice to see him in the dunk contest this year. Theres no way he is as bad as chris anderson.

I think he did win the dunk contest last year or the year before, I am not sure.

I am a little disappointed that this news hasn't poped up on clippers.com yet....

That's not nice.

Clippers.com is always slow reporting articles for some reason, they do it mainly on the day of a press conference or something

**yamaneko** · 09-22-2005, 07:44 PM

Nothing is official yet, thats why they havent posted yet. By NBA rules, the team websites cant post speculation, or unfinalized things. Since the contract isnt signed, clippers.com cant do anything except maybe circumvent the rules by posting a link to a report of whats going on.

by the way, added more to the blog tonight. News is actually 12 hours old, but i wasnt able to upload in the morning.

It is official, Korolev is a Clipper.

“Yaroslav is a very skilled player and has a great feeI for the game,” said Clippers Head Coach Mike Dunleavy. “I am very pleased we were able to come to terms with CSKA (Moscow) to allow him to come to Los Angeles. I think having him here to learn our system and work with our coaches on an individual basis will speed up the learning process for him to play at the NBA level.”
