Eddie Cage finished last season with Promobys Valle de Almanzora Tijola of the Spanish LEB Silver League, where he lost to Zach Andrews' team in the finals of their playoffs. He is not listed on their roster for 2010-2011, so we don't know where he might be playing this season.-

Just a couple weeks ago Tony Bennett scored 59 points in a game in the Chicago pro-am league...

Tony Bennett goes for 59!

[Nacho]

Yah... great game for sure... but most of these summer leagues are just jacking up 3's and not playing any defense right? I mean, he may have "kicked Detroit Pistons' guard Will Bynum's a**" but Bynum scored 51 himself so either they are playing 4- 20 mins quarters, or very litty defense is being played... 59 and 51 point are impressive none the less...

[tornado]

I know there's generally little defense, but hey -- those other guys are NBA'ers...even Antoine Walker & others......
but just reporting the news....

The season has started for a number of European leagues.

Great for Eddie to keep his career going. I wonder how much longer he'll play... If my memory is correct, he should be 32 or 33 by now...

Good guess. Eddie Cage's birthday is Nov. 7, 1978, so he'll be 32 in a few weeks. He redshirted one year because of injury, so he was at Bradley for 5 seasons- from 1996-1997 through 2000-2001. This will be Eddie's 10th season playing professionally in Europe in Germany, England, and Spain..

Where is Chris Roberts at?

WHERE HE AT?

Zach Andrews is HUGE in Japan . Are we not counting Granger?

Where is Chris Roberts at?

Chris -- still looking at pro options

[Da Coach]

Chris -- still looking at pro options

From what I hear, Chris had an offer to try out for the Harlem Globetrotters, but chose not to. There is a tremendous amount of travel invloved, and the pay is minimal.
