Greg Plumis

The handsome bearded man pictured above is Greg Plumis, photographed on the set of Haymaker & Sally, in which he deftly played two roles. But Greg’s skills extend beyond the silver screen: not only is he a versatile actor, but a skilled photographer as well. You can check out his work at the Greenwood Phinney Art Walk this weekend. Here is a sample:

Of course, the walk will feature many other talented artists as well–all the more reason to go. It runs tonight from 6:00 to 9:30 and tomorrow from 12:00 to 5:00. For more info, go here.

Mo Sene Progress Report

You guys remember Mo Sene, right? The Van-Damme-loving 2006 Sonics lottery pick is playing for the Boise Stampede in the NBA’s D-League (whose games can now be watched online). A few days ago, the good folks at Draft Express posted a progress report on several D-Leaguers, including Sene (Seely will be pleased to note that the report trashes Josh McRoberts). Writes Jonathon Givony: “Sene is quite a presence in the paint thanks to his gigantic 7-8 ½ wingspan, which he uses quite well to grab rebounds, finish around the rim and challenge shots in the paint.” Nevertheless, “he’d be chop liver most likely for most any NBA starting big man with a pulse.”

Also recommended at Draft Express (for bored hoop fans who enjoy this sort of trivia) is the Historical Pre-Draft Measurements Database, where you can find out the real height, wingspan, vertical jump, and other stats of your favorite players.
