Chinese Basketball Association Imports, 2010/11, Again
Jameel Watkins - 30 games, 36.0 mpg, 20.5 ppg, 13.3 rpg, 1.7 apg, 0.7 spg, 1.9 bpg, 3.2 TOpg, 54% FG, 20% 3PT, 68% FT
Jilin opened the season with Young and Watkins, a seasoned veteran of the Chinese dance. The now-33 year old Watkins's 13.3 rebounds were good for 6th in the league, and an improvement on his 16/10 numbers from last season. Former Sonics pick Young was, as ever, getting to the basket, averaging 8 free throws a game. But his impression of an undersized Corey Maggette didn't sit well with the team, and they looked to replace him for a while, eventually settling on Tim Pickett. Pickett had started the season with Israeli team Ironi Ashkelon, averaging 10.4 points in 7 games, but was released after being caught in possession of marijuana. He later returned to China where, once again, he ended up winning games single-handedly for one of the league's lesser teams.
