That's awesome news. He's one of my all-time favorites!

According to this link, he plays on the same team as Romain Sato. I did not know that.

Congrats to JD. I know he's extremely comfortable and well paid over there but I would love to see him in the NBA. He'd be a very good NBA player and the more guys in the NBA from X the better for the program.

I agree, but there's really no reason for him to come back. He'd play less and make less.

If you look at the picture in the original link, Sato's face is just off the right hand side of the picture. He has played with JD for a couple seasons.

That team is very good in their league.

Valencia gets an automatic bid into the Euroleague next year, which is a big deal. I gather this tournament this year was the equivalent of the UEFA Cup/Europa League in soccer, sort of the second-tier international event.

I think that's exactly right.

Correct. Doellman's contract with Valencia is up and there are some elite Euroleague teams interested in him.

And here is a pic of Doellman and Sato:

Getting well deserved recognition at halftime today as he goes into the Hall of Fame.

(I wonder if Steele could suit him up in the second half? )
