I believe I've not updated this in almost 5 years. I've can't believe it's been that long. :facepalm

Lon Kruger era

Cameron Clark last played in the top league in Italy last year averaging 13 points and 7 rebounds a game. But he is currently signed up to play in Israel with Ironi Nahariya.

Andrew Fitzgerald is in Japan and putting up numbers.
21.3 points, 6.4 rebounds through 10 games

Amath M'baye is playing in a different league in Japan and also leading his team in scoring. 18 points 8 rebounds. Only 3 games in for him. He has played some in the summer leagues in the NBA but those numbers aren't all that good. Earlier this year he was in an all star game over there and was team MVP.

Steven Pledger was last playing in Mongolia with the Dungovi Hawks. I can't find any stats.

Romero Osby is currently playing in Israel for Miccabi Rishan. Averaging 4 points and 4 rebounds early on. http://basketball.eurobasket.com/team/Israel/Maccabi_Rishon_Le-Zion/435?Page=3

He played a lot for Maine in the last couple seasons and was putting up good numbers.

Jeff Capel era is next.
 
You the man, Zepp.

Looking forward to the rest.
 
I saw where Tiny Gallon led the NBL China league in scoring (36.2) and was 3rd in rebounding (13.8) and 4th in blocks (1.5). Their season wrapped up in late September.
 
Amazing that we only have one ex-OU player in the NBA.

I wonder if Pledger gets paid in horses and yurts

He needs to do well to pay for those three cars he owns...
 
Ebi Ere is playing for the Adelaide 36ers in Australia. He's made a good living playing overseas for a lot of years.

I'll get to him when I get to Kelvin's years. But it'll be a few more days. I just have so little time anymore.

We will look forward to it. It think Relly Rell has been doing well over the past few years overseas.
 
I will also say finding stats is a little harder for players now. Basically eurobasket wants you to pay to find stats of players careers. So I can only find current seasons stats. Before I could find career stats of almost all the players I researched.

I understand. Kelvin left in 2006 so a lot of his players have given up playing (e.g. Hollis Price). Ere is 34 now so he's getting long in the tooth for a pro basketball player. I'll be anxious to see who is still playing when you find time to dig around.

I appreciate it.

I think Ebe may be the only one left. Or at least I hope so. Corey Brewer was still playing the last time I did this though.

This link shows the Big 12 has 33 players in the NBA. Kansas has 17 of them, Texas has 8, and OSU has 4. OU only has Blake, and Baylor just has 2. Iowa State has 1 but the link shows he played for Syracuse (Wesley Johnson transferred after 2 years at ISU). WVU, K-State, TCU, and Tech don't have any NBA players.

No wonder KU wins the conference every year!
