2012 Jones Cup Men boxscores download

Due to the technical problems many readers encountered -- not being able to access the CTBA's Jones Cup website, I have managed to upload the screen captures of all boxscores in the first two days to the link below. I hope this helps those who are having problem with viewing the webpages.

About the Jones Cup links

I have received many emails inquiring about the Jones Cup links I posted on the blog, which many people said are not working. In fact, I have no idea what happened to the CTBA's Jones Cup website because those links work for me in Taiwan all the time despite the site would be down once in a while.

About the 2012 Jones Cup men's competition

I'm afraid that I won't have much time covering the event game-by-game and day-by-day due to my day job. I post these links below for fans and writers who are interested in the tourney. Please check them out. In the boxscores, you may have to identify who is who from their jersey numbers since the CTBA does not put players' English names in the boxscores.

BOT names Chou Po-hsun top draft pick

753327304
[Chou Po-hsun, center, was top pick in the draft. Lin Yao-tsung, left, went to TM while Sung Yu-hsuan went to KKL at No. 3.]

Bank of Taiwan surprised everyone with its selection of 196cm forward Chou Po-hsun, a senior at Mindao University, as the top draft pick in the 2012 SBL draft on Aug. 1 in Taipei.

Chinese Culture University shooting guard Sung Yu-hsuan, who was the odds-on favorite as the No. 1 pick, went to KKL at the third pick. Taiwan Mobile picked up Lin Yao-tsung of Mindao University at No. 2.

Only eight players were selected in the annual draft.

BOT skipped Sung and gambled on Chou for his athleticism and because BOT desperately needed to shore up its front line, according to assistant coach Hsiao Wei-chieh. Hsiao attended the draft for head coach Wei Chen-ming, who was absent due to personal reasons.
