- Jamar Smith

This Jamar Smith - the former Maryland forward, Austin Toros starter and San Antonio Spurs training camp signee in 2006 - is signed in Italy with Trenkwalder Reggio Emilia. He is averaging 13.8 points and 7.1 rebounds per game, but in only Lega Due play.

However, he averaged only 5.6 points in 3 games there.
