Re: Minor league pride
Where do I start? Most minor league players have some career overseas at some point to make money. (whether it is realizing that they may not make the NBA, or simply due to the financial burden of the minors)
Anyway, here are a few more:
James Thomas 8.2ppg 9.5 rpg- Upim He was a rebounding monster in both the NBDL and CBA. He never really harnessed the offensive touch to be a factor at the NBA level, but his presence on the glass if felt throughout Europe.
Marcus Campbell- Air Avellino This former minor league player showed promise in the WBA and found himself on several NBA summer league roster projections.
Ansu Sesay 12ppg 5.3rpg- Armani Jeans Milano He was the former D League MVP who made his way into the NBA from several 10 day callups. He played for the Sonics for a few years (I think two).
