Career history
2004–2005 Texas Tycoons (ABA)
2005–2006 Mersin BB (Turkey)
2006 Kolossos Rodou (Greece)
2006 Benfica (Portugal)
2006 Znicz Jarosław (Poland)
2007 Hapoel Galil Elyon (Israel)
Pro career
Despite strong performances in his senior year, Logan slipped to the second round of the 2002 NBA Draft, where he was drafted by the Golden State Warriors with the first pick of the second round (30th overall). It is believed Logan fell to the second round mainly due to concern about his height. Although his listed height was 6'0", Logan was probably closer to 5'10". As a result of being a second-round selection, the Warriors refused to offer him a guaranteed contract, while Logan and his agent argued that he should have been offered a guaranteed contract since he was in fact the 29th player taken in the draft (this was because the Minnesota Timberwolves had to forfeit their first-round pick). After a bitter contract dispute with the Warriors, Logan did not sign a contract. His draft rights were later traded to the Dallas Mavericks. In 2006, he played in Poland (Znicz Jarosław), and the next year in Israel. As of 2012, Logan remains one of the few first team All-American who has never been on an NBA roster and has yet to appear in an NBA game.
