Michael Fey
After underperforming at UCLA for four years, Fey disappeared from American view. He spent two years in China and one in Jordan, and before that, in 2006, he appeared on the Lakers summer league. He must have left some kind of lasting impression, because three years later, the Lakers brought him into training camp to (ostensibly) fight for a roster spot. He didn't make it - he was never going to make it - but Fey's return to America and subsequent trip to the D-League are quite the departure from a man previously doing the Samaki Walker Tour Of The Far East. Local connections matter.
In the D-League this year, Fey played a full 50 game campaign for the L.A. D-Fenders and averaged 12.8ppg and 6.4rpg. Once the D-League season finished, Fey returned to his favoured Eastern pastures and played for Al Rayyan (a team from Qatar, not a man called Mr Al Rayyan) in the Asian Club Championships. He averaged 9.4 points and 3.3 rebounds in 7 games. Fey turned 27 a couple of months ago and is not going to randomly start developing NBA talent.
