- Donell Williams Donell Williams was a training camp signing of the Clippers in 2007, who hasn't played anywhere of note before or since. A 6'3 guard, Williams spent his first two collegiate years at West Los Angeles Community College, before transferring to Fayetteville State for his final…
- Shawne Williams As mentioned in the previous post , Williams fell out of the league in January. Dallas knew they had made a mistake in trading for him, and knew they'd compounded that by exercising his fourth-year team option without doing their homework on his play and…
- Robert Whaley After about two years off the scene, Whaley re-appeared on it again in March.....but in a bad way. For a longer breakdown of the life and times of the Fail Whale, click here. - Davin White Former Cal-State Northridge guard White was once signed…

- Novica Velickovic Novica Velickovic did what all good Partian youngsters do eventually; he left. Partizan are forever churning out quality youth, but they haven't the budget to keep them long term, and so Velickovic, Milenko Tepic and Uros Tripkovic all left last summer. (It didn't hold back…

- Milenko Tepic Tepic went undrafted this past summer, yet made the step up to the big time anyway when he moved from Partizan Belgrade to Panathinaikos. As luck would have it, Partizan have made it further than Panathinaikos in the EuroLeague this year, but they couldn't pay…
