...and from facebook, "Proud to announce that I will be returning to Greece this year to continue my basketball journey!!! I would like to thank everyone who believed in me and a special thanks to AEK Athens basketball organization for believing in me and my abilities. I will continue to work hard and stay a student of the game. Being able to join the organization that was the first Greek team to win a European title in 1968 is a honor and I will play with pride! To all my Wichita State Shockers fans it looks like I'm back in Black and Yellow Baby!!!!"

The salary ranges of pro basketball overseas are quite variable both league to league and even within leagues (there is less tendency towards either salary caps to limit the top end or players unions to limit the bottom end), but here are a couple of articles that might give some insight.

Thanks much.

I thought the wages might be a little higher.
