      Final stats in PDF form from the weekend. Ellis rebounded well but didn't score much.

      There are over 400 PIT alumni playing professional basketball around the world. There are prominent PIT alumni playing in the best professional leagues in Europe, Asia, Australia and in North and South America. More than 65 PIT alumni played in at least one NBA game last season.

        NBA Draft scouting reports, mock drafts, articles on NBA Draft Prospects. Extensive high school, NCAA and international NBA draft coverage.


        -Jameel McKay isn't the tallest or bulkiest big man you'll find at just 6'8 without shoes and 210 pounds, but his 7'3 Ă‚Â½ wingspan and 9'1 Ă‚Â½ standing reach are both outstanding. That should allow him to comfortably continue to play the center position for whichever team he ends up with next, provided he can add some strength.

        -Similar things can be said about Cincinnati big man Octavius Ellis, who measured just 6'8 without shoes and 226 pounds, but has an outstanding 7'3 wingspan and 9'0 Ă‚Â½ standing reach.

          Well now we know why he struggled this year, he is shrinking. Went from 6'10 last year to 6'8 now.

            Plus he hasn't had any offense for 4 years, why would we expect him to find some now. If he makes it at a lower professional level it will be as a role player and rebounder. Hopefully he can make a living overseas.

                Tay's had a pretty nice overseas career over the years. He's been bouncing between Turkey and some other leagues but those leagues pay well.

                  Tay is playing in China for Guangdong. Had 15 and 6 in 16 minutes of action in his debut yesterday

                      Ellis has jumped to the NBL in China . I think it’s their second tier league. Had 24,13,3 today.

                        Tay has signed with Uralmash in the Russian league. I hope that goes ok for him. That's a bit dicey.

                          Averaging 20 ppg in the Russian league and pulled down 11 rebounds two days ago.

                          How weird is it that we have an alumni in Russia and a Russian player in college?

                              After Brittney Griner, why would any American athlete play in Russia??? What price to take a chance on a Russian gulag?
