also could be that he has not really been in iran for 4 years and wanted to go back to be with the family. i remember he mentioned that he had some passport issues!! i do not think he has gone back to iran in these 4 years. this could be the reasonOriginally posted by EKBATAN View PostIRI = FAILEDComment

His answers with his permission:Originally posted by persian-eagle-13 View Post
1) Iran pays better than Europe
2) Europe requires 2 year contract. He just wants one.
3) when scouts follow him to Iran it also helps other Iranian players. As he said when a team wins a championship buy 30 every game then it has to be more than one guy and those guys deserve attention
me too and I keep telling him but I guess he knows something we don'tOriginally posted by EKBATAN View Post

^^well if he can get other players to come to US then more power to him!!IRI = FAILEDComment

He needs to better his offensive game to be a quality NBA player.Comment
-
well he always manages to score double digits, so he finds ways of scoring but he needs to improve his shot....or better yet take a couple of shots. If he only manages 2 more field goals / game to his scoreline, he'd be solid and no questions asked. They just dont like the fact that they cant give him the ball and expect a shot out of him. He should def. work on that in Iran and take lots of shots to get his confidence up.Originally posted by Sharkie View PostComment

^^more maybe he feels like he will have the chance to practice his shooting in iranian league better than in Europe as the defense is more lax in iran!!!IRI = FAILEDComment

my fear of him playing in iran is the speed of the game.Originally posted by persian-eagle-13 View Post
what he really needs to get good at is the corner 3 pointers. if he can practice that in iran that'll be a great addition to his game.Comment

AK had the physique to be an excellent SF. If he can practice on his jumping and 3pt range, he'll be a nightmare for opposing defenses.Comment
-
it might be even better for him to go to iran, so he can get that jump shot he needs. with his reputation in iran, if he has a slow start, its not like hes gonna get benched for somebody else...Comment
