Chris Ayer: Professional Basketball Player

[ADG'99]

Center Chris Ayer, who spent the past two seasons at Oita, will suit up as the team's starting center. The 208-cm performer showed flashes of brilliance in 2006-07, but often appeared to be a "project" player, one who just needed more seasoning to become more consistent.

The former Loyola Marymount (Calif.) University big man showed more of the latter last season, and is now expected to take his game to another level this season.

"We are going to try to bring it inside with Big Chris as much as we can," said Newton.

Let's hope Chris can make a open lay up for his new team and not throw bricks against the glass when two feet away.

Ah poor Chris...what a burden to have to carry the thought of that missed layup around. Hopefully, we will be in the tournament soon and that memory won't be as painful.

If Ayer wasn't such a d**k I would have cut him more slack. But the way he treated me and my teammates a couple years while attending LMU tournaments and camps was despicable and I cant say I feel too sorry for him. I think the backboard might have cracked a little bit on that layup.
