Great for Chris. I hope he makes a ton of tax free $$$ and has a great time seeing the world. Congrats.

Not to bring politics in, but the USA is the only country in the world that taxes our own citizen's foreign companies. Aren't we brilliant?

I'm glad he's getting the chance to earn an income while doing something he loves, but It's still hard to swallow that the POY in the SEC ends up overseas. Maybe he will polish his game and end up in the NBA.

Good for him.

Hope Chris can remain healthy and get a shot at the NBA soon.

That's good to hear. I couldn't believe he wasn't drafted.

Is this by any chance the same team Neltner signed with or will Lofton and Neltner being playing against one another? Either way, interesting that two Kentucky grown boys, both who had great college careers in Tennessee, will now be seeing some pro time against(with?) one another in Turkey.

Congrats to Lofton, a person I played with and were friends with for congrats to C Lo.

In his first game Lofton scored 18 points. That was 2nd on the team.

I have been looking for it. In my quest to find it, I discovered the FIBA World Basketball "rankings". Safe to say the United States is getting no love:

He put up 23 in his 2nd game.

Leads the team with 20.5/game.
