Where Are They Now? Part 23

Felipe Lopez is seemingly back in the Dominican Republic, although I'm not sure if he's playing any more. Other than second base for the Nationals, obviously. (Ho ho ho. That was so funny.)

Erazem Lorbek is playing for Lomattica Roma in Italy, where his teammates include Allan Ray, Roko Ukic, Gregor Fucka (again, just wanted to type it), and former emo Mavs guard Jon Stefansson. Erazem erases 'em all, averaging nearly 14 points and 6 rebounds. That pun was so crap that Charley Rosen should have written it.

John Lucas III was signed by Benetton Treviso (also of Italy) back in January, but I don't know if he's still there. I don't think he is. He averaged 7 points and 1 assist in his time there.

Kevin Lyde is back with the Dakota Wizards of the D-League, where he averages 12.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.9 blocks a game.

George Lynch is missing, presumed alive.

Arvydas Macijauskas went back to Europe, to people more suited to his personality and abilities (i.e. other Europeans). Playing for Olympiakos in Greece, Macijauskas averages 13.8 points and 3.2 assists, on a powerhouse of NBA has-beens (Qyntel Woods, Lynn Greer, Jake Tsakalidis) and NBA never-will-bes (Giorgos Printezis, Loukas Mavrokefalidis, Reinaldas Seibutis, Sofoklis Schortsanitis). This entry took more spell-checking than the rest combined. I wish Marc Jackson was still there. I can spell that name, even if he can't.

Jonas Maciulis was not drafted, and so he never left Zalgiris Kaunas in his native Lithuania, for whome he averages 10.6 points and 2.5 rebounds.

Tito Maddox has not played since he was waived by the Cavaliers, a fact made bizarre by the fact that he was waived on October 12th, 2003, at the tender age of 22. And unlike many players on this list, Maddox actually has NBA experience. So it's hard to explain where he's disappeared to, unless he is:

a) quietly dead
b) crippled
c) incarcerated
d) really, really disinterested in basketball.

If you know the answer, please comment below, because I want to to know too. (Hint: Myspace is a surprisingly successful way to find out information like this.)


Renaldo Major (can you believe there's more than one NBA player called Renaldo? What are the chances of that?), signed with Tissetanta Cantu of Italy to start the season, but left before the first game. Not sure whether it was injury or apathy induced.

Jackie Manuel played for the Iowa Energy of the D-League before their season finished, alongside many other players who also played for the Iowa Energy. But he was waived due to injury. Manuel averaged 10.8 points and 3.5 rebounds.

Damir Markota hunkers down with Jonas Maciulis above, for Zalgrinis. Markota averages 13 points and 6.8 rebounds a game.

Rawle Marshall is playing for Hemofarm in Serbia. No idea of his stats.

Renaldo is currently residing in Bismarck, North Dakota. He came back seemingly to get his braces off as he never suited up for the Dakota Wizards.

Wow, i never figured Kevin Lyde would be considered on an NBA blog. He played for River Plate in Argentina, and was pretty much pedestrian, despite being a good defender and waaaaaaaaaaay overweight.

Hello, and welcome to this website, the best NBA website made by an English person, ever.

The point of this website is to fill the gap in the NBA fansite market that combines accurate data with an irreverent, humorous and frankly rather rude take on the league and its people, something that's only really been explored in blog form. Of course, the fact that we're now exploring this in blog form too is a little hypocritical, but never mind. There's more than just that.
