Where Are They Now? Part 10

Willie Deane - who is not my lover, just some bitch who says that I am the one, in a non-Matrixy way - is playing in the seminal Bulgarian league, for the even more seminal Lukoil Akademik Sophia. Impressively, he is not the only person from this series of posts to play for that team, so all fascinated viewers can wait until we get to the letter S before we find out who Willie's backcourt teammate is.

F.W. Andrew DeClercq slipped out of the league with knee problems, and hasn't been heard from since trying to make a comeback with the Bulls in late September 2006, a weird month for Chicago that saw them give tryouts to almost every free agent big man on the planet - including Shawn Kemp, who didn't turn up - before all of them managed to lose to Martynas Andriuskevicius. Weird times.

Tony Delk is either playing for Carolina in Puerto Rico, or he isn't. Sorry about the uselessness of that - I just have conflicting information.

Derrick Dial disappeared for ages, but has this month reappeared in the D-League, playing for the Tulsa Cockerels. (See previous comments, re: the reformation of D-League teams nicknames into easily truncated juvenile sex talk.)

Guillermo Diaz didn't take his NBA kick in the balls too badly, and is playing for Pepsi Caserta (sponsored by Coca Cola) in Italy.

Kaniel Dickens has starred in the D-League all season, enough so to get two ten day cotnracts recently from the Cleveland Cavaliers. He is now once again in the D-League, playing for the Colorado Balls.

Do you know who Alain Digbeu is? No, no you don't. And nor do you care. Digbeu was a draft choice by the Atlanta Hawks from several million years ago. You've never heard of him because you've never needed to hear from him - his insignificance is so all-empowering that he doesn't even gain afterthought status. Still, if I've now turned you onto the idea of following Alain Digbeu's career - and the Hawks do still own his rights, so you never know! - then you'll be orgasmic to learn that Digbeu is playing for Alicante in Spain. Fun times.

Vlade Divac is long since retired, and now works for Real Madrid in a role which he freely admits leaves him having to "literally do nothing". Lucky bastard.

Nigel Dixon recently played for San German in Puerto Rico, and is still fat.

Marcus Douthit is playing for Antalya in Turkey. By the way, if anyone knows what happened to Marcus Douthit in that extortion trial of his from a few years ago, I'd like to hear it. I can find absolutely nothing that says what became of it, just that he was charged.

Zabian Dowdell is playing for Nancy in France.

Christian Drejer, former Nets draft choice and apparently arrogant as all hell (allegedly), is playing for Lottomatica Roma in Italy, alongside Gregor Fucka, whose name I just wanted to type.
