Hamed Haddadi Joins Iranian Team For Jones Cup!

He's 7'2" and plays for the Memphis Grizzlies. Of course, he's no Kobe Bryant. He's not even JaVale McGee.

But Hamed Haddadi still has the potential to cause trouble for Gilas as the Iranian has gained valuable experience playing with Grizz big men Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph.

Marcus Douthit, Japeth Aguilar and Asi Taulava will have their hands full guarding Haddadi, who has developed a short fallaway jumper but both Douthit and Aguilar are quicker than Haddadi and that just might turn the tide against Iran.

Gilas faces Iran on August 14, the last day of the Jones Cup.
