In response to jeromelh
He has a greater lineage than just Jonah, the Harvard small forward:
Brother, Reid, played basketball at Stanford, Kentucky and plays overseas
Brother, Jonah, played basketball at Harvard
Cousin, Ross, played basketball at Penn State and plays in the NFL
Amaker should have grabbed all of them, but I think Jonah didn't get the playing time he wanted. He was a power forward with no outside shot who - at a generous 6'5" - was only a power forward in this league. He had some great skills and moves near the basket though. Harvard was loaded at that time with guys taller than Jonah (Zena Edosomwan, Kenyatta Smith, Kyle Casey, Steve Moundou-Misi, Evan Cummins, Agumwa Okoli). Even Wes Saunders was close to that size. Except for Siyani Chambers, Jonah might have been the smallest guy on the floor. Remember, Okoli was a 6'8" guard and defensive player of the year. Things have certainly changed in Cambridge.
