Jared Newson 03/12/2010 Date of Birth 09/26/1984 (dd-mm-yy) Euro Non Positions 3/2 Place of Birth Videotape Yes Height (cm) 196 ( = 6- 5 ft ) Country of Birth United States Weight (kg) 90 ( = 198 lbs ) Nationality USA University Tennessee Martin 2006 NBA draft Jared Newson has the potential to become one of Europe's better players and also has the type of game to land an NBA job. At 196 cms Jared is always in superb shape, extremely quick, highly explosive, and is a threat going to the rim, behind the three point arc, and has a mid-range game as well. Defensively Jared can guard both the oponent's small forwards as well as the shooting guards. All in all the Tennesse-Martin graduate (2006 - All OVC 1st team) has an allround game but is always ready and willing to improve any, or all facets of his game. Coming out of college people knew about his supreme athleticism (example 1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cksg4ZYqck. Example 2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXvZNU4tMr8) which was on prominent display during the 2006 Portsmouth Invitational Tournament as well. During his first year as a pro Jared showed a complete set of skills in Leverkusen, Germany, and improved those skills the years after in Australia and again in Germany with Bamberg. Jared also had short stints with the Dallas Mavericks. He first went to their mini camp in order to play summer league. Afterwards he made the summer league team and just did everything Avery Johnson asked him to do and played great defense and took it personal when people scored on him. Because he played well and brought energy to the court the Mavs wanted him to come to veterans camp. In vet camp he played mostly in the fourth quarters but when on the court he did great, guarding players like Bruce Bowen, Chris Paul, and Steve Francis. His best game was against Houston where he had 11 points 5 rebounds.. In the end it came down to available roster spots and Jared was the last cut. The Mavs wanted him to play D-League to be able to call him up but Jared chose to play in Europe. There, during the 2008/09 campaign Jared also played EuroCup with Bamberg (7.4 ppg and 4.2 rpg) as well but later fell out of grace with coach Fleming halfway the season and his minutes dropped. Jared is a player eager to learn, ready to play any role in the team, and will be an asset to many possible teams for years to come.
