  • Kelvin Lewis is in Austria top league

  • Tashawn Thomas is back with the same Champions League team in Israel

  • Joe Young is back in China getting buckets

Just looked up his stats. He’s averaging 18.4/4.2/7.4 over the past five games, which is great. On the season he’s averaging 8.2/2.3/5.3, so it’s been a pretty incredible run here recently.

I work with a bunch of Metric guys that hate the imperial system. I love the Imperial system better.

Just saw Zamal Nixon signed last week with Ludwigsburg in Germany BBL (top league). He has really put together a good career, even with a small step back last year going down a league he took care of business and is back in a nice situation.

Does anyone know how much the leagues pay at the level Corey and Zamal are in?

Corey should be around 100k for the season, maybe a little lower if their budget was impacted by the virus. Nixon is an interesting one since he was picked up for the end of this season tournament. His team in Pro A Germany was probably around 3k/month. I am sure the BBL team gave him more but the opportunity to get back to that level for this short time was more of an incentive.

Zamal is averaging 9.3 points and 4 assists through the first 3 games, team is 3-0. One more game for the group stage, then quarterfinals. His team has a decent shot of winning the championship, ALBA is probably still the favorite.

Assuming Rob Gray stays with the Metropolitans, Davis and Gray will be playing in the same league. We’ll have to put up game threads when their teams play each other.
