Saw the thread on Deron Washington and was reminded of this guy. Not advocating signing him or anything, just thought I'd start a conversation between fellow basketball junkies who like to talk about guys who once played for the Spurs and lit up SpursTalk for a while.

Looks like he actually had a really good stretch of games in the EuroCup earlier this year. In 11 games he averaged 21.6 points, 4.5 assists, and 2.1 steals per game, shooting 64.7% from the field and 53.6% from 3-point range.

Apparently he was playing for Galatasaray Cafe Crown, a team based in Istanbul, Turkey. The stats above earned him First Team honors in the All-EuroCup awards.

I'm just piecing this information together. If anyone else has more complete information on his various adventures, please post. :toast

Edit: Hmmm...not sure why this thread showed up in the main Spurs forum. I figured it was in the Think Tank. Apologies for cluttering up all the important threads on the front page. :)

He played in my country last year.

He runs the floor very well a quick PG and he can shoot. But he turns the ball often and sometimes he can handle the control of the game. He's not an NBA class PG yet.

lurker23 trolling? :lol

:lol, Certainly not. :) Random discussions of various players with little Spurs-related meaning are common in the Think Tank. Not sure why this thread isn't in there.

I know a guy from Macedonia. Great Guy. He's a hardcore Ginobili fan. He teach me how to say "Eat S@*t" in his native tongue.
