Nets trying out Europe's 2nd best scorer

Willie Solomon, a member of the Nets summer league team, averaged 24.1 ppg this season after averaging 21.7 in 2002-03, both extraordinary numbers in European league competition. He also knows how to win. He was a member of two European championship teams, Aris Thessaloniki in the now defunct FIBA Europe-wide tournament in 2003 and Hapoel Migdal in the new ULEB Cup finals in 2004. In 2003, he was MVP of the finals.

Here are some links to his career, beginning with his NBA draft page from 2001, when he was drafted by the Grizz.
