Spanish ACB Playoffs kick off 2 June! Justin & Tobey will be in them. Caffaro’s team sucks and has been eliminated.

Turkish BSL will include Devon & Darius

Israeli BSL playoffs will have Justin McKoy & Shayok

London’s Kolossos team is awful and will be possibly relegated.

Mike Scott and Akil look to be good on making the Puerto Rico playoffs.

The Australian season is over… so Taine & Kody are in their offseason at the moment.

I don’t think he’s played for Barcelona since April, when he went to the Nike Hoop Summit without their approval.

Things that surprised me with these stats:

McKoy scoring almost 18ppg and almost 10 more ppg than Shayok.

Cafarro getting run in Spanish ACB.

Stattman not scoring 20+ ppg.

I double-taked at this. Granted, Shayok is on the better team by a good margin, but McKoy is his team’s leading scorer! Crazy.

So McKoy, Perrantes and Akil as 3 best foreign Hoos…
Hoo had that on their bingo card?

Where’s Jayden Gardner? Rasta Vechta teammate of Grünloh

BVP is somewhere too. . I thought Germany maybe?

BVP was last seen dominating the Swedish league for Jamtland, who charmingly have a moose named Bruce the Moose as their mascot:

JG has been solid for Rasta Vechta, though has had a quiet last 5 games:

Apparently, several coaches later and in a foreign league, McKoy has finally been unleashed…

This expansion of the Euroleague and adding that Paris club was supposedly the reason TDR wasn’t coming here I thought. But all rumors right now, so who knows.
