Where Are They Now? Part 18
It has been brought to my attention that this series of posts is 'dull', 'uninformative' and 'gay'. This unholy trifecta is a bit upsetting - I figured I could lapse into at least one of the three by accident. But no, apparently that's all three strikes right there.
Still, if there's two things that I don't have, they are a willingness to accept negative criticism, and a social life. So a combination of the two will see this series continue in a slightly different way, that hopefully is more uplifting, more useful, and more heterosexual. (Also, regardless of whether other people like me doing it, I'M enjoying doing it. So nanny nanny boo boo, stick your head in doo doo.)
Rudimentary stats for all players will now be added, where applicable. The act of doing this will probably drive me to suicide, if I am not already slain by the inevitable carpal tunnel that will come with it. But this is what champions do. They give up their bodies. (No wait, that's what whores do.) They show grit, and lay it all out there every day, willing to risk injury and/or humiliation for the team's greater good. They play the game the way that it should be played. They are heroes.
I am David Eckstein. You are Joe Morgan. I have absolutely no idea what I'm saying any more. Let's do this.
Daniel Horton is playing for Hyeres-Toulon in France, which sounds more like a semi-successful lawnmoer manufacturer. He left the D-League in mid February to sign there. I have no stats for him.
Quinton Hosley is playing for Pinar Karsiyaka in Turkey. You can try and figure out whatever the hell his stats are by clicking here. Fun Quentin trivia: the only three players to have played in the NBA with some variant of the name Quentin - Quentin Richardson, Quinton Ross, Quintin Dailey - have all played for the Clippers. Fun fact that I can't be arsed to verify.
Troy Hudson hasn't played since being waived by Golden State earlier this year due to injury.
DeeAndre Hulett - Raptors draft choice from 2000 and occasional answer to the trivia question "Who the hell is DeeAndre Hulett?" - has finished his whistlestop tour of Latin America, and is now in Germany, playing for Walter Tigers Tuebingen. He is averaging roughly 6 points and 2 and a half rebounds. And this is in Germany, lest we forget.
Ryan Humphrey spent the second half of last season with APOEL Nicosia in Cyprus, with whom he went to the giddying heights of the Cypriot finals. However, he has not played this season.
Brick Shithouse Brandon Hunter is playing for Angelico Biella in Italy. Whoever Angelico Biella is, she sounds hot. Hunter is averaging just over 12 points and just under 9 rebounds a game.
Jimmie "Snap" Hunter is playing for Polaris World Murcia in Spain. He is averaging 13.4 points and 1.9 assists a game.
Mile Ilic is playing for Bilbao of Spain, where he averages 6.8 points and 4.8 rebounds a game. No word on whether Nets fans still think he's the future or not.
Ersan Ilyasova is playing for Barcelona, whom you probably already know to be one of the world's better teams. Milwaukee still owns Ilyasova's rights. Ersan averages only 5.1 points and 2.8 rebounds a game.
Luke Jackson is playing for the Idaho Stampede of the D-League, averaging 13.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.2 assists.
Marc Jackson was playing for Olympiakos in Greece, before they decided to release him due to his unwillingness to play defense. In his place, they signed Qyntel Woods, and also brought back from Sofoklis Schortsanitis from a health spa. But more on him later.
Jim Jackson is done.
Still, if there's two things that I don't have, they are a willingness to accept negative criticism, and a social life. So a combination of the two will see this series continue in a slightly different way, that hopefully is more uplifting, more useful, and more heterosexual.
