Where are they now?

My annual attempt at catching up with former Buckeyes not in the NBA and where they're playing overseas this season:


Brian Brown - returned to TBB Trier in Germany's top league, the "Bundesliga." He averaged 10.4 points there last season after moving mid-season from Poland.

Teamcheck: TBB Trier ? German Hoops

When James Gillingham got injured, TBB signed guard Brian Brown. The 30-year old american is a familiar face for Trier fans, because he has spent two seasons at the Mosel from 2004 to 2006. The addition of comboguard Brown worked out well as he averaged 10.4 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists. It looks like the management was so convinced of Brown?s ability that they decided to make a major change on the rotation for 2009/2010. With Richardson leaving and Brown being the first player to get a contract extension, Trier clearly lost some height. Brown will support and backup Raivio on the point, but he can also play on the shooting guard position. That means that uprising Jamal Shuler could become a starter on position 3 and Gillingham the veteran backup for the positions 2 and 3.

TBB Trier's first game was yesterday (October 10, 2009). Brown had 14 points & 5 assists in a 71-67 Overtime victory over the DT. Bank Skyliners of Frankfurt.

Trier beats Frankfurt in Season Opener

TBB trier has beaten German Bank Skyliners with 71:67 in overtime. Coach Defraigne's team fought hard and overcame a nine point deficit early in the game. TBB missed power forward Chris Copeland due to stretched adductor muscles but made up for it with a balanced team effort: George Evans (14/11) and Jamal Shuler (13/10) putting up double-doubles in points and rebounds and Derek Raivio (15) and Brian Brown (14) scoring in double figures.

Captain James Gillingham hit a huge three-pointer in overtime, putting the team up 66-62, Raivio and Evans sealed the victory at the charity stripe.
