Wisconsin-River Falls's finest Rich Melzer spent this year in the Australian NBL, where he averaged 10.9 points and 4.8 rebounds per game for the Skytrans Cairns Taipans. The NBL season has already finished, even if this series of posts has just cracked half way, and Melzer returned to American to play the last two games of the D-League season with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers. In two games he totalled 25 minutes, 11 points and 8 fouls.
