Scott Blankney is a former University of Montana men's basketball player facing a big decision. After completing his last season with the team and starting in just four games, he's at a crossroads: retire from the game he loves, or continue playing overseas.
Fewer than 2% of college hoopers in the U.S. move on to the NBA or WNBA after school. The international market for pro basketballers is much hotter, but going overseas isn't always smooth sailing.
On this episode, Kaimin sports editor Jack Marshall sits down with Kaimin Cast host Austin Amestoy and shares the stories of UM athletes past and present who have faced the challenges and triumphs of shooting for stardom outside the U.S.
