Elijah Olaniyi has caught on with BBC Sparta Bertrange of Luxembourg's top league, the LBBL. Assuming Sturdivant is still playing there, they'll go toe to toe.

According to one site, in the lower European leagues, it's as low as $500/month. However, Luxembourg is the richest country in the world so maybe you get a little more there. If Ty has starred there, Elijah ought to do the same and then some.

A couple other updates ...

Anthony Roberts is now playing in Portugal's top division. He's averaging 26 points, more than double the next player on the team.

Makale Foreman has caught on with Slavija in Bosnia's top division. They tip off on Saturday.

Over in Portugal, Anthony Roberts had 20 points, six rebounds and five assists in Vitoria SC's 102-75 win over CB Madeira on Saturday. Of note is that Michael Almonacy dropped in 13 and dished out five dimes for the losing side. I know they never crossed paths here, but it's pretty neat anyway.

ICYMI, we have what I believe to be our third-ever G Leaguer. Mo Gueye is averaging four points, five boards and two blocks through two games with the Texas Legends, the Mavs' G League affiliate.

First page is updated. Up to 14 current pros I think, although Luxembourg and maybe Australia are considered semi-pro.

Random fact: Eight players from our 2016-17 and 2017-18 teams are playing or have played professionally.

FWIW on Gueye, he's on the Toronto Raptors summer league team, which you can see take on Brooklyn in about an hour on ESPN2. He had 15 and 7 last night against Detroit – not bad. I don't suspect he makes the roster, but it's good to have guys in the conversation at least.

Sitting at 14 pros by my count (see page 1) but maybe I'm missing somebody.

Maybe this only applies to me, but it's worth keeping an eye on Gueye's situation in Toronto. He's had a nice preseason for them, with one more contest to go, and it feels like he's right on the fence for whether he makes the team or gets relegated to the G League. Raptors/Wizards exhibition game tonight – be there!

Edit: Ah well. Headed back to the G League. Felt like a longshot.

Update: Kaine Roberts has caught on with the Hiroshima Dragonflies in Japan's top division. He's averaging about five minutes a night through three games. He seems like a nice kid and competed hard so I wish him the best.

Ten games into the season, Gueye has almost doubled his scoring output from a year ago, and he's tops on the team in rebounding and blocks among regulars. It's also good to see him averaging just two fouls in 31-plus minutes per night – a definite thorn on his side here. Maybe he gets a cup of tea in the League.

You may have seen on social media that Olaniyi retired for medical reasons. I'm not seeing that Tykei has caught on anywhere or if he's even pursuing it.

Iroegbu is averaging 23 a night in Qatar, and oddly enough, one of his teammates is Tobias Harris' brother Tyler. All the way over there in Qatar.

The first post in this thread has the most recent locations as far as I can tell.

Thanks for keeping the list up-to-date.....great work!

ICYMI, Tykei made his pro debut for Selfoss in Iceland last week, dropping 34 and 11 on those poor folks from Armann. Next up: Skallagrimur. He is going to dominate that league.

If you're keeping score at home, Selfoss is short for Körfuknattleiksfélag Selfoss. Also, that's now 18 former players in 18 different countries if I have it right.

Updated the initial post to show Gueye in the (freaking) NBA (!!)

Also updated to show that Campbell and Habwe are still playing – Switzerland and Georgia respectively.

I kind of expected to see Jenkins and Garcia pop up somewhere by now, but maybe they just went and got a regular job.

Time to make a special section on top for those who made the NBA?  :)

As I'm sure many of you saw, Gueye got some minutes and put up respectable numbers for the Raptors on Monday. Then on Tuesday it was back to the G League team. To date, one day and 6 mins in the NBA.

Brutal existence for those guys hanging off the ends of rosters.

More on Gueye: He's playing real minutes for the Raptors now. Granted, with guys missing, the Raptors are trotting out a fringe NBA team at the moment, but nevertheless, Gueye subbed in in the first and second quarters in Toronto's loss to Brooklyn last night. Good for him though.

He trails Warney 17-9 on the all-time NBA points list for former SBU players. Captivating chase!
