Where did the Moon come from?

[Borgsta]

This guy has been very impressive. Yahoo have him as undrafted so where did he come from?

 

[Gridlock'd]

Like the real moon, hes just always been there, hanging around.

Shame he's already 27, though plays with a lot of energy on the court and doesnt really look like slowing down. He's been holding them together while Bosh has been out IMO. Currently playing the Suns and seem to be holding out well for the time being.

The Moon ain't that good, even a cow can jump over him

Colangelo picked him off from the USBL - late bloomer.

Been brilliant filling the SF position and providing defense, hustle, and energy.

Shame he's already 27,.

Damn I had no idea about that! He just seems to be everywhere and do a bit of everything.

Great find by the Raps.

Supposedly was always a very highly rates HS player, just never got it together until now.

If he can keep playing at this level, he'll be a solid NBA starter for a number of years.

geez, talk about the impact a good GM can have on a bad franchise.

It's the most important position in a team. This guys attention to detail is phenominal (sp?) and I'm sure everyone has seen that video of him on draft day.

Good write up on him.

Do you reckon he's a shot for the ROY? Durant hasn't exactly been setting the world on fire.

Me too and I definately think he has a shot as ROY.

Everyone should read that yahoo article about him. Talk about doing it the hard way.

When I first saw him starting at SF, I thought Smitch had lost his mind. But after seeing some vids of his play and reading reports on him, he is exactly what we needed at the 3. An athletic freak who can crash the boards and be a real defensive presence. Stoked to have him, Colangelo just keeps finding these gems.

Now if only Bargers can start to show something, the team will be near complete.

It's believed that a Mars sized object had a close encounter with the coalescing Earth some four and a half billion years ago, splitting off a small blob of the Earth to form the Moon. Read more here

He's got such a good name too - Jamario has a nice ring to it and combines very fluidly with his surname Moon.
Has anyone started calling him Super Jamario?
