Ty Walker's playing over there too.

Ty Walker played for Kotwica (Poland) last year. He is currently not on an international roster.

We have to have more guys than that....

Did Big E and J Gray give it up?

I'm almost certain they are both still playing.

According to EuroBasket this Summer, Justin Gray played for Pertevniyal (Turkey), but he is no longer listed on their roster as he is identified as among the players that "left". See link below:

Ty Walker can actually make a living playing pro basketball in Poland? Wow. That may top Josh Shoemaker in Sweden.

They need to make a reality show that tracks American pro basketball players overseas and how they interact with the community.
Big E in China?
Ty Walker in Poland?

Yes please. I would pay a lot to watch the episode where lovington goes to visit Chas in Akita.

 

[PhDeac]

Real Basketball Players of Krakow

I'd watch.

McKie and probably Thomas. Too early to tell which of the sophs are going to pick up their games. Also remember Shoemaker played professionally in Finland.

I always heard the Finns were real suckers for a pump fake.

Knowing Big E, he is probably loving China.
