David Statman: Staten, Browne move onto the pros

[43rd Parallel]

AN EXCERPT:

Meanwhile, Staten’s former Mountaineer teammate, Gary Browne Jr., already begun his professional basketball career. Browne returned to his native Puerto Rico after being drafted in the first round by the Maratonistas de Coamo, the ninth-place team in the island’s Baloncestro Superior Nacional.

Good luck to Gary in Puerto Rico. Seems like a reall good guy and a great Mountaineer.
Here is a link about the league, didn't realize it's been around since 1929.

Also, I guess it doesnt really matter which NBA summer team guys play for (if they have no guarantee)- it's basically just a showcase opportunity. Otherwise, I wouldn't think it'd make sense for Jtuwan to play for the Kings who are stocked at PG.
