～’23 ALBA Berlin → GSW/OKC/POR workouts → Suns Summer League → 3-year contract extension with Berlin (includes an NBA-out clause) → ’23-24 EuroLeague (8.9 PPG, 41.5% 3PT on 3.1 attempts per game, 82.6% FT, 1.1 STL) → made Germany’s preliminary 16-man roster for Paris Olympics
Some background & notes:
* He chose the Suns as a Summer League team aiming for an NBA contract because they were about to have 10 open roster spots at that time. Unfortunately he was barely used in SL because as their hilarious tampering for Eubanks & almost all other FA signings getting announced like 20 mins into the start of the free-agency moratorium period showed, it clearly seems like they had their plans already. But they were comically bad and ended up trading away most of those underperforming useless vet-min guys. * Donatas Urbonas aka “EuroLeague Woj” mentioned it on the podcast before. Urbonas is who recently interviewed Harden at Adidas EuroCamp. I’m sure someone posted that video here a few days ago. * 6’9″ without shoes at 2018 NBA Global Camp
