It was nice meeting you in Berlin at the Frankfurt game. What are you doing in Germany at the moment?

It was a pleasure meeting you as well Miles. I am in Germany currently because I was here for a Professional Basketball camp held by Premiere Sports and Chad Faulkner. I was MVP of the camp, which was held in Frankfurt. I was able to get a good workout in at the Skyliner’s great facility and was able to meet with the head coach and some assistants. I was also fortunate enough to meet a contact by the name of Ryke, who assists with the operations for the Chemnitz 99ers, which is also a great organization. Both clubs were very gracious and I am now on their radar as a future prospect. I have been in contact with several agents and am continuing to workout in Berlin and await possible contract opportunities. I have a scheduled workout with Magdeburg and possibly the b squad for Alba Berlin.
