Paris Horne Signs Pro Contract to Play in Germany

The team he is on is BG Göttingen.  Also on that team is Dwayne Anderson from Nova.

Went on their website and a picture and article on Paris pops up.  Don't read German but I think they're describing him as an athletic, team-oriented defensive stalwart.  Sounds about right, and, wait till they see him throw a few down. 

Here is a translation of the article from the team website...

Paris will be joined by Duquesne's Damian Saunders, who's also really talented: http://www.rep-am.com/articles/2011/07/25/sports/hoopzone/573566.txt

From what I gather this league has a low budget but produces a lot of talent/competition. It's a good look for Paris.

Wonderful for Paris but the other side of my brain hears the drumming and thinks of Leni Riefenstahl's Triumph of the Will

Paris is such a great athlete and defender. He has also become a very good ball handler and his shot has become a real weapon compared to when he first stepped on campus. Paris has a lot of ability I can seem him really getting better and better with his work ethic.

That was really cool to watch. Must be such a cool life experience to play the game you love professionally and travel the world doing it.
