Marcus Williams G-League-ing it too

[RichZ]

25 points for Reno.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

last 2 games he’s been killin it.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

That's wild he's still kicking around.

Still surprising to me he never stuck longer in the NBA. Seems like he squandered some talent.

 

[sledog]

So is there a secret nook somewhere on the BY that lists which pro teams former Huskies are now playing?

If not - certainly needed.

 

[Robertelamin]

I didn't realize Charlie V was out of the league so right now Rudy is UConn's longest tenured NBA player and the next longest is Kemba (?). Talk about feeling old...

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Kemba is or is close to being Charlotte’s all time leading scorer. Tough to swallow that season was 7 years ago.

 

[LIuconn]

Still doing it. Good for Marcus

 

[Ts5034]

Marcus Williams was a very good player for us the last two years he was here. I think he just gets overlooked because of his off court issues and losing to George Mason

 

[LIuconn]

And his perceived lack of motivation, work ethic, intensity, foot speed etc. But he could play ball

 

[AdamaNation]

Is he our last “bigger” point guard?6’4” right?

It's been posted a couple times in bits and pieces, but here's what I know of:

NBA:
Kemba - Charlote Hornets
Lamb - Charlotte Hornets
Drummond - Detroit Pistons
Rudy Gay - San Antonio Spurs
Shabazz - Portland Trailblazers

G-League:
Emeka Okafor - Delaware 87ers
Marcus Williams - Reno Bighorns
Rodney Purvis - Lakeland Magic
Daniel Hamilton - Oklahoma City Blue
Amida Brimah - Austin Spurs
DeAndre Daniels - supposed to be with Maine Red Claws but not listed on G-League or team roster currently
(Ben Gordon would have been with the Windy City Bulls then that went sideways pretty quickly)

International:
Josh Boone - Melbourne United (Australia)
Jerome Dyson -Hapoel Jerusalem B.C (Israel)
Ryan Boatright - Beşiktaş (Turkey)
Stanley Robinson - Keflavik (Iceland)
Hasheem Thabeet - Yokohama B-Corsairs (Japan)
Omar Calhoun - Espoo United (Finland)
Jeff Adrien - Bnei Herzliya (Israel)
Hilton Armstrong - Ryukyu Golden Kings (Japan)
Gavin Edwards - Chiba Jets (Japan)
Lasan Kromah - U BT Cluj-Napoca (Romania)
Kentan Facey - Aries Trikala (Greece)
Niels Giffey - Alba Berlin (Germany)

I might have missed someone but this should cover most of them. In general, if you're looking to stay updated on G-League and International guys, I'd recommend following @GlobalHuskies on Twitter. Whoever runs that account does a great job of finding the latest news and highlights on these players.

Is Boone still penning that blog ?

I think DeAndre may have been released or something, he hasn’t been listed on the roster the last few games for them.

Such a talent... Can't believe he's not doing this in the NBA right now...

 

[Palatine]

Nay, his defense was the problem in the NBA. Good offensive player but just not quick or big enough or D.
