Former USF center Will McDonald, who has played professionally in Europe since 2003, is taking a step toward playing in the NBA and will play on the Milwaukee Bucks' team in the NBA summer league in Las Vegas starting next week.
McDonald, 6-foot-11 and 255 pounds, considered playing for the Bucks two years ago but instead signed a lucrative contract with TAU Ceramica, a top European team in Vitoria, Spain. The 29-year-old averaged 9.1 points and 4.4 rebounds per game for TAU Ceramica this past season.
McDonald played for the Bulls from 2000-03 and was the team's leading scorer and rebounder in 2002-03, averaging 15.9 points and 8.1 rebounds per game. The summer league in Las Vegas runs from July 10-16. Here's the official release from the Bucks' site.
Times sportswriter Greg Auman, who covers USF, will post news and thoughts on the Bulletin and we invite your participation in the comments area.
