In a new and uninteresting series of post, we (I) shall attempt to update you on the current whereabouts of some of your favourite players who sniffed the NBA for a brief moment before retiring with their tail between their legs to basketball's minor leagues. These players are to be glorified at all times, as they provide amusement, and also they provide the oft-undervalued mechanism for sports fans to worry entirely too much about the last player on the roster. It is a trend true of all sports, but particularly in basketball - if we can't see a player play, but they're on an NBA roster, we can then convince ourselves that they are potential 20ppg players, and no one can refute our claim with evidence because there isn't any. It's a dream we regularly live, then shatter, and then live again. Good times.

Anyway. This list will be approached in order, from Tariq Abdul-Wahad right down to Aurelijius Zukauskas. Yes, THE Aurelijius Zukauskas, the Milwaukee Bucks draft pick of 1995 about whom you care deeply. These are the things that interest me.

Anyway.



Tariq Abdul-Wahad is out of basketball, and was last seen having a brief one week trial for Bologna of Italy in November 2006. He was then not signed as Bologona said they couldn't afford to wait for him to get into shape.

Mohamed Abukar is playing for Amsterdam in Holland.

Alex Acker is playing for Barcelona in Spain, alongside such luminaries as Ersan Ilyasova and Fran Vazquez. Detroit still owns his rights.

Hassan Adams is playing for Siviglia in Italy, alongside Devin Green, Nikoloz Tskitishvili and Roger Powell.

Kenny Adeleke is half of a legendary frontcourt duo with Donnell Harvey for Banvit in Turkey.

Deji Akindele is playing for Pau Orthez (not Pau Gasol) in France.

Akin Akingbala is playing for Pensack, in Latvia of all places.

Cenk Akyol, whose rights are owned by the Atlanta Hawks, is playing for Galatasaray in Turkey, alongside luminaries such as Dee Brown, Britten Johnson and Robert Hite.

Cory Alexander is out of basketball and hasn't played since leaving Charlotte.

Courtney Alexander is also out of basketball and hasn't played since being waived by Denver in October 2006.

Chris Alexander is playing for the Sioux Falls Skyforce of the D-League. He's also recently picked up Spanish citizenship. And he's also still got a really long neck.


More later.
