Dave in Green Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 10/04/2008 Jeremiah Wood with great season opener The Finnish league started it's regular season this weekend, seeing 6 Court Side players in action. The most impressive Court Side-performance came from "rookie" Jeremiah Wood, who is in his first season overseas after graduating from Akron earlier this year. Wood signed a contract for Joensunn Kataja in Finland and showed what he can do in the Finnish league in the season-opener when he lead Kataja to a 86-80 win over Court Side player Alain Laroche's Korihait.Wood lead Kataja in scoring (23), rebounds (15), blocks (2) and assists (3) - he also added 3 steals to his performance while playing all 40 minutes of the game. Laroche added 16 points and 6 rebounds for Korihait. Other Court Side performances the Finnish first league round: Kurtis Rice had 20 points and 5 rebounds in Pyrintös lost to LrNMKY, Latece Williams 10 points and 2 rebounds in 17 minutes in FoKoPos win over ToPo, Calvin Walls added 17 points and 4 rebounds in 25 minutes when his Kouvot lost to last years champions Honka and Durell Vinson added 7 points and 7 rebounds in KTP's win over Team Componenta. http://www.court-side.com/news/news2/24EE3...D800518823?Open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirdZip Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Free throw percentage seems about right. The most interesting thing to me is the 3-pt shooting--5 for 6. He seemed to discover that way too late in his senior year.Got Wööd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the UofA a favor and throw away that business card and don't bring up NCAA violations again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Zip Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 I'm guessing the Finish league is worse than the MAC. He didn't put up those kind of numbers here!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootforRoo44 Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 I'm guessing the Finish league is worse than the MAC. He didn't put up those kind of numbers here!!!!im guessing that you are probably right. Though from what i read it said that "The opening weekend with two first rounds has already showed, that some teams have succeeded signing decent foreigner(American) players, but then there are players who are out of shape or don't belong into top level of Finnish Basketball. Kataja (Joensuu) is one Team,that is satisfied with Jeremiah Wood..."that seems like a shot at Wood. Or is it just their bad english?

It sounds like they are saying that Kataja was one of the teams that signed a decent player, as opposed to other Finnish teams.The way he is putting up numbers, there's no way they could say he is out of shape or doesn't belong at the top level.
