On how Hoffa's season is going in Russia?

I saw some stats posted on another site that looked pretty impressive but that was a while ago. I have to say I miss the guy a little. After all he was one of my favourite players by the virtue of me wanting him to succeed so very badly.

Now that he's come through the NBA tutelage of Sam and Jerry Sloan, I'm very curious to see how he looks these days, playing against lesser competition.

I bring up Araujo because of the similar struggles Andrea is having as Sam's starting center. They have comparable difficulty rebounding the basketball and similar stand-up post defense. Bargs is more poised on the court at both ends, despite being lost at times.

I see a lot of potential in AB but I saw a lot of potential in Hoffa too. I wonder if the Brazilian beast is growing into a basketball player now that he's out of the NBA.

victory over Olympia in eurocup qualifying round. 18/7rebs

11/8/1 in previous group C defeat to Olympia.

seems like he's a key player on a poor team. would be sweet to live in st. petersburg for a while.

there are his eurocup stats thus far.

can't track down his domestic league stats yet.

i'm so glad that we landed Hump with this guy and i hope he makes some progress in europe and makes it back to the nba some day.

After another look, here are his recent stats.

Jan 12. 10 pts, 4 rebounds
Jan 4. 11 pts, 7 rebounds
Dec. 22. 18 pts, 8 rebounds
Dec. 2. 2 pts, 2 rebounds.

Looks like good ole Hoffa to me. I don't know how that league works, but it looks like not many games are played. I obviously can't read any Russian, so I could be horribly wrong.
