Jean-Marc Melchior

Since most normal people have no idea that Luxembourg exists, let alone is its own country, let alone is part of a triumvirate known as The Benelux, it was shocking to see we had plucked a hoopster from this seemingly made up place.

In Luxembourg Melchoir was a straight killer.  He drilled daggers for a living, averaging almost 20 per in his high school days for Luxembourg's BBC Black Star Mersch club team.

At 6-6 Melchoir gave the Cats some much needed size during the 05-06 season and logged 7 minutes in a win over Northern Colorado, and swooshed 2 points over DePauw.

Only a sophomore we haven't given up on Melchoir contributing to Coach Knight's team next year.  If he can reach back to his days of stardom in The Lux, and forget about his incredible, indescribable inability to get game action, we think Melchoir has a sweet shooting stroke ready to bust out at a moment's notice.  Though at least 50% of us over here at knighttocats.com put money on this guy being the first to be slapped by The General next year.
