MyBB Former Rocket BBallers in the Pros
Looks like Nathan Boothe is quickly making a home for himself in Japan, as he led the Sendai 89ers with 18 points and 10 boards in their season opening win, and scored 26 (6 threes) in another game.

Some highlights from the opening game:

And, if you ever wondered how to spell "Nathan Boothe" in Japanese (helps in searching) it is:
ネイサン・ブース

Also saw some tweets about Marreon Jackson having a couple 20+ point games as he opened his career in Turkey, but have not been able to find stats for that league yet.

Also USAbasket shows:

Steve Taylor, Jr playing the Philippines this year. I believe he had been playing in Israel.
Jonathan Williams playing in Czechia (formerly calls the Czech Republic)
JD Weatherspoon playing in Japan
Taylor Adway is playing in Kosovo
Spencer Littleson now playing in Portugal
Lucas Antunez still playing in Spain

And of course we have heard about Chris Darrington trying to make it into the G League.

Link to English translation of Japanese story on Boothe, being asked about the earthquake in Turkey, since he had played there before.

And speaking of the earthquake, reportedly Chris Darrington, who was playing in Syria, was there during the quake but made it out safely. He's back in Toledo playing for the Glass City Wranglers in The Basketball League, and averaging something like 35 points a game.
