Former players thread

Matt Gatens is on the Energy's training camp roster.

It looks like he played in Spain, Ukraine, Turkey, and France the last four years, according to mispelled Spanish wiki.

Looby averaged 4.2 blocks per 36 minutes in 100 D-League games. So there's that.

he's apparently #2 all-time in D-League block percentage

Brody Boyd moved to Keokuk, Iowa and broke into one of his neighbors places and was caught stealing her prescription pills. He was arrested and plead guilty to 3rd degree burglary. He's a scumbag.

Each photograph I take is a piece of art that tells an elaborate story. My vivid, imaginative portraits capture your unique essence. I strive to creatively portray each subject in the most memorable, beautiful ways. Some day, 7 Foot Photographer will be a household name. At least in Eastern Iowa for senior portraits and family pictures.

I use professional photography equipment and carry insurance to cover the $20,000+ worth of camera equipment I own.

I think I'd be an addict as well if I lived in Keokuk

The Academy of Arts U is a surprising Drake Relays college division powerhouse recently. This is the only other reference that I have ever heard of related to it.

Back when I was an editor, I reached out to him about shooting some stuff for our magazine. He was shocked that I remembered him from his time as a Hawkeye.

It is so much the life most of them can't wait to get home. None of them really like it for more than a couple years.

It seems that Devyn Marble has simply given up playing basketball since having a contract dispute/getting cut from his Euro team. He came home and has pretty much hung out in Detroit and watched Lions games for the most part. Sort of weird for a 24 year old that was playing in the NBA a few months ago.

Woodbury is finally healthy and had a break out game last week. He was playing spot minutes, but they were on the road and he played the last quarter and a half of the game in a comeback win. He ended up with 11 points and 9 rebounds.

Uthoff is sort of there playing backup minutes and getting some decent stats. He continues to be a giant pussy.

Marble probably thinks he's rich for life

it's only been a few weeks and he probably got a decent buyout from his Euro club

He left because they weren't paying him, so doubt he got a buyout.

He signed with a team in Italy today.

I still think Uthoff could stick in the NBA sooner than later. He simply needed to get the mental and confidence part fixed as he has ideal size and shooting plus is an underrated shot blocker.

He also looks like he has put on some good muscle finally and is aggressive.

Uts shooting 49% on the year from 3.
