The Rock of Koszalin - (We are now 3/4s through the Polish PLK season, and what do ya know..Buckeye veteran George Reese is playing like one of the league's best players.)The 2011 Polish League All-Star game took place in mid-January. It might have been George Reese's 3rd consecutive All-Star appearance if not for a bit of a delayed season debut. As you may recall, Reese re-joined Koszalin in late October (missing the preparation stage & the first three games) It took a couple weeks for him to get back into high level form, but his play from early December on has been nothing short of outstanding!
Reese, who is currently ranked as the fourth best scorer in Poland, is averaging 20 points & 7 rebounds in his last nine games. Number 9 has hit double figure scoring marks in 10 of 13 played games so far...5 of those games have been 23 points or more including a season high 29 point performance on December 11..in other words..he gets buckets! (G. Reese Stats)
AZS Gets Back in the League Mix - We knew G-Money would come back with another strong season, but Koszalin's turnaround has been sweet as well. A disappointing 1-6 start had Koszalin at the bottom of league standings before a five game winning streak got them right back in the mix. It was a six point victory over Zastal on December 11 that AZS would snowball into a great stretch of victories which included wins over top 5 squads Sopot & Czarni. With just six games left in the regular season (remember just one game a week), and the toughest stretches of the schedule behind them, AZS sits in decent position to make a run for a playoff seed.
