[SIZE=5]Jerusalem Post: Flores, Withers brilliant for Holon in season opening victory[/SIZE]

Tigers power forward Curtis Withers, who had a whopping seven dunks in the game, owned the paint and was impressive in transition, finishing the evening with 19 points and eight rebounds.

I still think he can get himself a look in the NBA if heā€™s working hard.

Also, a preview article for the Israeli team Withers is currently playing for, Holon. Apparently theyā€™re pretty ballinā€¦

[QUOTE]Withers, whose chizzled, 2m frame and speed out of the frontcourt once prompted an ESPN analyst to dub the then-UNC Charlotte star an ā€œathletic freak of nature,ā€[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE]ā€œWeā€™ll be a team thatā€™s got speed and thatā€™s entertaining ,ā€ said Withers. "Weā€™ve got Deron - he might give you a highlight here and there plus we have Luis [Flores] whose nickname is ā€œgettinā€™ buckets Louis.ā€ [/QUOTE]

He visited over the summer not long ago and played a getā€™up game with the boys - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBCeY_VSwAw

Some stats: [URL=http://www.eurobasket.com/player.asp?Cntry=ISR&PlayerID=53940]http://www.eurobasket.com/player.asp?Cntry=ISR&PlayerID=53940[/URL]

About 10 ppg, good from 2 but horrible from the line at 44%. Not many three attempts. Remember what we said when he was here. Would have average nearly 20 per game if he could shoot free throws.
