Ken Johnson - The last update on Johnson is from two years ago - he had returned to Ohio State to complete his art degree, and expressed a desire to become an art teacher. It is unclear if he's done this.

Former Miami Heat big man Ken Johnson has spent most of the previous two seasons in Germany, where he was an All-Star last year. His averages were kind of strange - 7.3ppg, 3.3rpg and 2.1bpg in 47 games - but the blocks per game led the country. This year, he packed up his toys and moved to Estonia to play for a team called BC Kalev/Cramo Tallinn. Johnson averaged 6.3 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.2 blocks in the Estonian league, and 7.4/5.0/3.1 in the Baltic league, before he was replaced last month by former D-Leaguer Kevin Owens.
