Playing for my San Antonio Spurs Summer League Team both in Vegas and in the Rock Moutain Review.
Where was he playing previously? I remember him vaguely in the late 90's. Must have been oversees, I guess.

Per wikipedia:
"Watkins made his Philippine Basketball Association debut for the Formula Shell. He is slated to play for the Magnolia Beverage Masters in the PBA 2007-2008 season."
He signed in 2000 with the Bucks to a one-year league min deal, then was waived 20 days later. He was also waived by the Sonics, Rockets, and Bucks over the next three years (source: RealGM). Yahoo sports has a page for him that is associated with the Bobcats but no info. SI has a page for him associated with the Rockets but no info, and he is listed as inactive.
I nominate the current state of Watkins as eligible for the Biggest Hoya Enigma thread.

I thought Wesley Wilson was the one tearing it up in the Philippine league...

My man Jamelio just wasn't that good. Very mechanical with very little basketball knowledge. Shamel Jones was better.

The beverage masters, I like that name.
The PBA - is he bowling or balling?

I don't think Shamel was used properly. He had 3/4 skills, but PT was an issue to.

where would you put Courtland? Peaked in HS (from what I was told) then battled injuries.

Yeah, he was top 75 I believe. I think Boub and Dia had better careers.

Courtland was hurt badly by injuries -- he had some incredible hops in high school. He had a great Cap Classic.

I'm covering the Rocky Mountain Revue as we speak, and Jameel's playing for the Spurs.
Looks good, looks lean, like he's taken good care of his body over the years. More on how he fared later
