Milwaukee didn’t even pick up his 3rd year option on his rookie contract. And he got cut from every other NBA team he got signed to after. But those WVU teams with him and Kevin Pittsnogle were super exciting. Kevin Pittsnogle is another player I’d like to see a video on. I think Joe Alexander was born in China but was Israeli(from what I remember). I know he went on to win acouple championships for Israeli in a Euroleague. Should be a interesting story.
