All statements to the effect that the SASS don't have a legitimate center are hereby null and void. Yikes!

Chen Nan is a young 6'5 center from China. Lots of potential.
Alvine Mendeng is a 6'1 forward from Cameroon that played at NC State
Allyson Hardy is a 5'6 guard from Bowie State
Natasha Thomas is a 6'2 forward from UAB that played for Birmingham in the NWBL
I assume you know who Bolton is...

since i usually manage to pull an image of a player off the web, who is NOT the player i meant to pull off, i'll do a link instead. and it STILL may not be the real chen nan in question, but i think it is.
http://delegation.olympic.cn/yundongyuan/yundongyuan-e.php?Array=962
btw, a quick, daily google tip for those who don't know: says on this page that chen nan is 195 cm tall. since i have a block about numbers, i go to google and type: 195 cm in feet, then hit enter. the answer:
195 centimeters = 6.3976378 feet
so google's search field can be used to do all sorts of numerical conversions, even for cooking measurements!

Chen is the only one worth noting, IMO. The others are camp fodder.

| Chen Nan has good potential. She's mobile and skilled. She has to get tougher in the paint but that will come with experience. They used to call her the 'Asian Lauren Jackson'. That's a bit inaccurate IMHO - it's like calling TSB 'the Canadian Lisa Leslie'. |
