DeMarcus is getting a special Christmas gift, a new team. He goes from Monaco to Unicaja Malaga, which is in the EuroLeague and trying to recover from a poor start in the domestic league in Spain. This move proves why players who spend a large amount of time in Europe take up a second citizenship if possible. DeMarcus will not count against the extremely limited non-European/non-Cotonou player restrictions with his Serbian passport.

An injury crisis forced Spanish club Malaga to sign a new guard in time for the first game of the next phase of EuroLeague play, which they came back to win 70-62 over Turkey's Darussafaka and also to help steady the team in domestic league play, where DeMarcus's passport from Serbia allows him to count as a European player. His teammates include ex-Alabama player Richard Hendrix, ex-George Mason player Will Thomas, ex-DII player Jamar Smith, ex-Notre Dame player Jack Cooley, ex-NBA player Nemanja Nedovic, Fran Vazquez, the 11th pick of the 2005 draft by the Orlando Magic, who remains unlikely to ever attempt to play in the NBA, wasting the pick completely, and Daniel Diez, the 45th pick of the Utah Jazz in the last draft before a draft day trade to the Portland Trailblazers. In this game, DeMarcus was still working with way into rhythm with the team, dishing out a handful of assists in 7 minutes. Hendrix had 13 points and 8 rebounds.

Was in Madrid over the break and saw Real Madrid play Bosque Baskets, a German team. It was fun! Real Madrid's best player is Sergio Rodriquez, who was with the Trail Blazers for three years but never got a lot of burn. He's a good offensive player, but I could see him having trouble guarding NBA point guards. Madrid also had ex-NBAers Andres Nocioni (who didn't start) and Gustavo Ayun as well as some American players. Their best American was Jaycee Carroll, who had a great career at Utah State but whom I had not previously heard of. He was pretty good but is 32 and apparently will never get on an NBA roster.

The environment was a lot of fun - a big arena, enthusiastic crowd (including some Crazy-like "Berserkers" behind one of the baskets) and a very fun PA announcer. The game is *much* more physical than the NBA is now, IMO - Gustavo Ayon demonstrated that it is apparently impossible to get called for a moving pick in Spain.

I'd be curious about others' experience attending games outside of the US.

Jaycee Carroll is a really fun player to watch. He can really only play shooting guard, which is why it would never work for him in the NBA at his height. Obviously I have never been to these places to verify, but there are some even better environments than Madrid. Watching Brose play at home in Bamberg is apparently good. Then moving further east, Pionir and the much larger Kombank Arena are great places to watch the Belgrade powerhouses and several Greek arenas have crazy atmospheres. Kaunas in Lithuania is also supposed to be pretty good with less of a feeling of your life being in danger. A real experience for hoops enthusiasts would have to be in the Philippines, I imagine.

Jaycee Carroll is a really fun player to watch. He can really only play shooting guard, which is why it would never work for him in the NBA at his height. Obviously I have never been to these places to verify, but there are some even better environments than Madrid. Watching Brose play at home in Bamberg is apparently good. Then moving further east, Pionir and the much larger Kombank Arena are great places to watch the Belgrade powerhouses and several Greek arenas have crazy atmospheres. Kaunas in Lithuania is also supposed to be pretty good with less of a feeling of your life being in danger. A real experience for hoops enthusiasts would have to be in the Philippines, I imagine.

Those would all be really interesting places to go - I think Real Madrid is about as comfortable as you can get with foreign basketball. I met a number of guys - a bike rental shop employee, a few cabbies - who were really fanatical about both Spanish and US basketball. I really enjoyed the connection.

Scary story out of Italy, where two of Andre Dawkins's teammates were assaulted outside of a club. Ian Miller looks to be fine, but apparently Jerome Dyson sustained a concussion among other injuries and could be out for a while. Unlike say the NBA, where losing games doesn't kill your team, Torino certainly does not need any distractions right now as they try to avoid being relegated from Lega A to Lega Due.
