This time of year, agents are busy telling the media how good this or that obscure prospect is. It's smart to be skeptical. But this one is slightly different: It's a big claim, and he's backing it up. Agent Bernie Lee writes. " I have a client playing in Israel with Maccabi Haifa, Doron Perkins. Obviously every NBA situation is different and has different factors that lead to who signs where ... but I'm comfortable in saying that if he isn't an NBA player then I dont think I've ever seen one." Wow. Doron Perkins, sure-fire NBA player. Bold call! I specifically asked Lee if he was OK being quoted making that claim on the record, and he said yes. But here's the coolest part: Tomorrow (Thursday) at 2 pm Eastern time Maccabi Haifa play Maccabi Tel Aviv for the Israeli Championship. The game can be viewed live, at a pretty high quality, at this link." And that's where I like the story. No idea about this player. But laying it out there that he'll be great in an upcoming game ... it's bold. If anybody has the urge to really watch and critique that game, I'd be interested.
