I really like kambala and he killed cska this year scoring 28 and 14 one game.
Kambala, jasikevicius, macijauskas, david anderson, are the likely non draftees that will come over next season. imo
Here's some college info. He tore it up. Europe only made him hone his game even more. He's 26 though so it's now or never imo.

"Kaspars Kambala could take exception to Herod's statement. The sophomore center was having his way with the Trojan pivotmen down low early in the game, scoring eight of the first 11 UNLV points as the Rebels held an early 11-4 lead.'
"Bayno gave Kambala, who finished with 17 points on 7-of-10 shooting and a team-high eight rebounds, the second half off,''
Apparently in europe kambala sometimes sits the 2nd half because of giving good leads and they bring him in later when needed. Imagine the points he could bring if he played more mins.

"Perhaps the main strengths of Real Madrid, however, is a powerful, almost undestructible frontcourt. Kaspars Kambala is the main man in the paint and Madrid leading scorer with 13.5 points on average in ULEB Cup play. He has a huge, strong body and knows how to use it, with footwork considered among the best in Europe. He calls his favourite move, a spin for an easy shot underneath, "The Helicopter", and at times he seems unstoppable."

'Freshman center Kaspars Kambala said he was willing to play the role of villain tonight.
"I hope they yell at me. I hope they hate me," said Kambala, who has scored 20 and 22 points and registered double-digits in rebounding in his first two collegiate games. "If they yell at me, it will make me want to play harder just to make them mad."
"Center Kaspars Kambala is a junior center with an NBA future.'

"UNLV, coming off a 23-win season and a NCAA Tournament appearance, returns four starters. Kaspars Kambala is one of the top 10 centers in the country, and worked very hard to improve in the off-season."

'Senior center Kenyan Martin leads the Bearcats in scoring at 16.5 points per game and needs just nine to reach 900 for his career while Mickeal is averaging 13.0 for the season."

I've said many times before that great players don't make it into the nba because of politics and preferances.
From camby getting punked by alex kuehl to kambala punking soo many (now)nba stars to scrubs making the nba.
My hope is the kings make a move and bring him in.
