He plays professional ball in Turkey I believe.

 

[Volsguy12]

Also, I think he is the leading scorer for his league, too.

17 points per game last I checked. Google "Chris Lofton Turkey" and his player page should come up.

Nope. The BOA was probably the only thing goofier than the "free chicken sandwich" to be associated with UT Athletics.

The Big Orange Army is as popular around here as a case of food poisoning.

Free chicken sandwiches rock. BOA doesn't

Hey, take it easy. Food poisoning is quite interesting to some of us! Routine viral gastroenteritis can get so monotonous. . . .

You're right: the opportunity for my wife to take my sons for free Chick-Fil-A does slightly lessen the griping I get for going to games!

Turkey is a pretty poor country, so probably not much, by comparison with the U.S. or even Europe. A little info here:

I'm not sure of exact numbers but I would assume these guys aren't hurting. Chris is the first one I know that went to Turkey. I know Crump and Slay are playing over there in different countries and are making some pretty good money. Crump is in China(and doing pretty good), and I think Slay is in either Spain or Italy(at least that's where he was last I talked to him).

Can anyone assess Lofton's or JaJuan's chances to make it to the NBA sometime down the road?

I loved watching Lofton. He brought something to UT that hasn't been here in ages. But his NBA potential is very low. He has never proven to do much more than hit contested shots. Which is something guards do in the NBA. But those guards also drive, play defense and can ball handle. Lofton is average at best at all these things.

He won our hearts with the long contested 3's and he was great at it. I'll never downplay the guy. He's a TN legend and should have his number retired to a roaring ovation.

He just doesn't meet the NBA criteria though.

As far as Jujuan. He's fast enough to put as a shut down guy and play some pesky defense. I wouldn't be surprised to see him deep on a roster where he gets some PT to shut someone down.
