Does that suggest a lack of interest from the NBA?
Or is their little chance of getting even 10-day contracts this late?

VERSATILE SWINGMAN AS A FAILURE INSURANCE

25-year-old Casey Prather arrived from Perth, Australia, on Monday afternoon, and is scheduled to enter the training session of ratiopharm ulm after the compulsory health check at RKU. The 1.98-meter-American, who was a few years before his NBA involvement after his college career (Florida), is a two-time Australian champion who finished second in the season's league MVP.

"Casey is a versatile player that can be used both on the outside and on the board. Thanks to its variability, it helps us to react to any failures during the course of the season, "said Head Coach Thorsten Leibenath. As the transfer window was closed on the easyCredit BBL on March 31, no more players can be committed after this date. Prather is now eligible for the game and occupies the seventh alien place in the squad of ratiopharm ulm.

I would be more miffed about being referred to as an alien by a German.

At least there is another six aliens on the team though.

LOL, I think Pizza Hut might have used Google translate on a German article. The term ausländer usually means foreigner but can also translate to alien. The dictionary translation of variabilität is variability but can also mean versatility, which is probably what the coach meant.

Was obviously a translation yet bozo Zodiac decided to rag on it yet even in English the use of the word makes sense if not antiquated.
