Chinese Basketball Association Imports, 2010/11, Again
Jackson Vroman - 27 games, 35.2 mpg, 22.6 ppg, 10.6 rpg, 4.9 apg, 2.8 spg, 1.6 bpg, 4.0 TOpg, 56% FG, 15% 3PT, 59% FT
Since falling out of the NBA after only two seasons, Vroman has played in Spain (Gran Canaria & Girona), Lithuania (Lietuvos Rytas) and Iran (Saba Mehr & Mahram), where he played for the best part of two years, winning pretty much everything there was to win. In May 2009, he obtained Lebanese citizenship (somehow), and has been a national team staple since then, despite the occasional threat of replacing him. Vroman, who turns 30 in June, is extremely effective in the paint, which makes his occasional flirtations with the perimeter hard to explain. He's not a centre, he turns it over a lot, and fouls just as much (4.4 fouls per game in this CBA season, although he's fouled out only twice). Yet despite these flaws, the talent and production is undeniable. He's 9th in the league in assists, and he's a power forward. No mean feat.
