    Yinka Dare......Who remembers him???

    I was thinking about when I followed the Raptors day to day when they first broke into the League, and a stat I remember hearing when they played Dare when he was with the Nets.

    Take a look at the link, and tell me if there is an alarming stat that sticks out like a sore thumb! Honestly one of the craziest numbers Ive ever seen or heard of.

    Take a glance at his assist numbers! More importantly, look at his assist numbers in 95-96, his most active season.

    626 minutes on the floor, 144 field goals attempted, ZERO assists. How is this possible?? Not one dump into the post....not one kickout for 3?? It almost seems like when he touched the ball, it wasn't getting passed...maybe why he lasted such a short period of time.

    I bet he's doing well thanks to the Magic giving him $3.5 over 2 years......and he never played one game with them.

    Good attitude Treece. i wouldn't expect anything different from you. Why would he be living in the projects? What are you hinting at...stupid comment to make....you're prejudice...poor guy is dead

    He was almost a poster child for coming out of college too early was slowing developing under Jarvis and shocked everyone by saying he was going to the NBA.

    Didnt realize he had passed away. But ttwarrior....what do you mean "centers never get an assist ever"???
    Sure some might go a game without an assist....but 64 games....Cmon!

    RIP Yinka!

    I remember him as playing inside for the Nets. Center, I think.

    Didn't see much of his play, though.
