Kevin Kruger to play in Italy
Former UNLV guard Kevin Kruger has signed a one-year contract to play with the Original Marines Napoli, one of 16 teams in Italy’s top division (Serie A) of professional basketball.
Kruger made the announcement on his Facebook page this afternoon. The team’s website also ran a story on Kruger’s signing as did eurobasket.com.
The popular Kruger, the son of UNLV head coach Lon Kruger, helped lead the Runnin’ Rebels to a Mountain West Conference Tournament championship and Sweet 16 berth in 2007. He most recently played with the Utah Flash of the NBA Development League last spring where he averaged 13 points in 24 games.
The Original Marines roster also features former Utah forward Lance Allred and former Clemson star Terrance Oglesby. The team’s website lists “Jellybean” Joe Bryant, father of Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant, as its head coach.
