Man he's getting up there in age...I know he's happy where he is and I'm happy that he's having success, but I really want an NBA door to open for him at some point....he has the skills to be a solid point.

At 28 now I really hope some NBA team gives him a look soon. He has such talent as a defender and finisher and deserves a shot.

That was pretty sweet, but do they actually watch games with all those random graphics on the screen?

I have no clue how Thomas isn't in the NBA. He's the best defensive player in Europe right now, and would be a great 6th man on pretty much any roster right now.
Surely he gets a look eventually.

I've been told by international scouts that it is his height that keeps the NBA from trying him out

Olympiacos has a player or two that makes above 1 mil a year. Not sure where Walkup comes out but I'd bet he's doing pretty well.

Total team salary for players is 12 mil.

Man, Tom really might be the best player to never get an NBA chance. If he does he's gonna be the oldest rookie of the year in NBA history….

Had an elevator ride with Thomas today.

He said almost immediately, "I thought you were up in the Pacific Northwest?" Was pretty shocked that he could/would remember that about a random person he's talked to maybe a handful of times.

Was great to see him though, he'll be out with the campers tomorrow.

What a guy! That's awesome that he remembers your geographic exploits.

Interesting...

On April 18, 2023, Walkup received Greek citizenship via an express procedure (honorary naturalization) signed by the Ministry of Interior, as well as the President of Greece, Katerina Sakellaropoulou, thus enabling the player to appear with the Greek national team in international competitions and also compete as a native player in the domestic league and cup.

Kylie Louw, South African. Played on their soccer team in the 2012 Olympics.

There might be others, but I know that one.

Louw is the one I know for sure.

Feel like this was mentioned before, but I think there might have been a WBB appearance or atleast a coach. Or maybe there was going to be for the Olympics that was boycotted.
