Disappointed he hasn't gotten a decent chance in the NBA and with age I highly doubt he gets back to the league but playing pro ball over seas is better than not playing.

@kjayhawks probably not, but 26 still isn't old. I think the problem is his skillset isn't as highly coveted as it used to be. Everyone wants to have a floor full of scorers with range, not an elite rebounder who is an average defender and can't shoot from outside.

@approxinfinity agreed but 26 is fairly old for a guy like him that's not proven to get signed with dozens of 20 year olds or younger getting drafted each year.
