figured the thread title was confusing for those who dont know....so lets continue here...
old thread; http://www.persianfootball.com/forum...-Hawks-Thread-!
UPDATES;
- In 2013 Kazemi was drafted by Philadelphia 76ers
- He played the 2014 season in Iran and won the league
- He played 2015 season in China and was top 5 in Rebounds and Steals in the league
- Summer of 2015 he played for 76ers in the NBA summer league, leading the hustle stats for the entire league
- September 2015, 76ers wanted to send him overseas again but he refused and they released him
- He joined Atlanta Hawks for 2 games and was cut because their roster was full
- He then joined Houston Rockets for preseason and played 1 game for 13 min. Despite having a good game he didnt feature again and he was cut at the end of preseason. This was mostly due to the fact that they could only sign 1 player and they needed a center.
- Conclusion; 76ers screwed him by keeping his rights for 2+ years so he was not allowed to join any other NBA team. By the time they released him in late September 2015, it was too late for him to join any NBA team as all the rosters were full. He has a chance to join a team in January on temp contracts but that is if there is interest in him. IF not, he can once again join a team in Summer League of 2016 to try his luck.
Best of Luck to Arsalan, we're all rooting for you.
