Filed under: Euroleague, New Mexico Thunderbirds
Alan Anderson was the second overall pick in this year's D-League Draft and one of the league's top scorers, but a FanHouse source has confirmed that the former Charlotte Bobcat is taking his talents back to Europe.
A 6-foot-6 forward in his sixth year out of Michigan State, Anderson returned stateside this year in hopes of a call-up to the NBA after spending the previous three seasons in Europe. However, after just 10 games with the New Mexico Thunderbirds, he's now in the process of buying out of his D-League contract to sign with Regal FC Barcelona in Spain.
Anderson, the D-League's third-leading scorer, will join former first-round NBA Draft picks Ricky Rubio and Fran Vazquez as well as former Memphis Grizzlies point guard Juan Carlos Navarro on the reigning Euroleague champion's squad.
An extremely gifted scorer, Anderson had been averaging a solid 21.1 points, 5.8 rebounds and 5.0 assists while leading the Thunderbirds to a Western Conference-leading 7-3 record before sitting out Friday night's game in anticipation of going overseas.
