Devin Oliver Europe
I searched and didn't see a thread that talked about Devin's overseas games and teams so I decided to start one. Our guys need some recognition even if its not the NBA. He's currently playing for Union Olimpija in Slovenia which is in the top division in Slovenia and played in the Eurocup this year. Eurocup is below the Euroleague but means they finished near the top of the league last season. It's like the Europa league in soccer which is below the Champions league.
The video I'm linking below is Devin meeting a fan and why everyone loved him at UD.

American Devin Oliver (204-SF-92) put on an amazing game in the last round for league's leader Un.Olimpija and that's him to receive a Eurobasket.com Player of the Week award for round 22.
The 24-year old had the game-high 25 points adding eight rebounds and five assists for Un.Olimpija in his team's victory, helping them to beat Rogaska (#6, 12-10) 83-72. It allowed Un.Olimpija to jump to the first place in the Slovenian Liga Nova KBM. Un.Olimpija have a solid 18-4 record. In the team's last game Oliver had a remarkable 80.0% from 2-point range.

I really enjoyed devin's senior year in particular. He looked like he should be a very good shooter and became that his senior year
But, he also flashed the ability to be a VERY good player, an nba caliber player. He always had great vision to see the floor, good length for a guard and what looked like a very smooth shot. Even though he had a great senior year I always thought there was more potential there and it sounds like he is starting to maximize it
It would obviously be a great story for him to continue to the nba. Hopefully he at least gets a chance to try out. I've heard the nets need some good players since they gave all of their draft picks to the celtics

Loved DMO his senior season. He was a swiss army knife the guy could do a little bit of everything.
Heres mid season highlights from this most recent year. He shows a better handle than he had at UD. Also his jump shot looks a little quicker.

How do those teams pay their players and expenses? Do they have a FS1 TV contract?

Google translate didn't work at all on that video. I emailed them to let them know...otherwise why do we even have these internets?
