Salo, Finland doesn't look like a bad spot to land in at all.

I would have gone back to Portugal. But good for Dougie, there's a nice life waiting for him if he keeps his head on straight.

Just curious, does anyone know about how much players make in these types of leagues? I can't imagine they make too much.

50,000 smelt/year - I'm not sure how to convert that.

These types of stories are awesome.

Most types of success stories we hear about involve guys with tough upbringings making it to the NBA, but it's refreshing to hear one like this. After the missteps at UConn and then getting expelled from UMass, I thought for sure Wiggins was gonna let his talent go to waste. So it's incredible to hear about how he's turned it around.

on same page - lower right there is a picture of AO and it mentions that he was just signed
by a team - very strange to this on same page that mentions DW signing.
Doug's story is a great one. Worked hard, seems to have learned from mistakes, loves the
huskies, still plays in summer league and respects JC - best wishes Doug!
