As an aside, no way DJ is 6 feet. I've stood next to him & he is shorter than me. I would guess he's 5'9".
I'd agree with that. A lot of NCAA teams bump up their players an inch or two.

That's ok, we just signed a 6'10" kid, who was probably cut off above the ankles.

Still nothing.. So this report looking like it was just hype?

If Cooper stays in Europe, is he signed with someone or is he a free agent there as well?

Cooper signed with BC Krasny Oktyabr (BC Red October) in Russia. They are not ranked by Eurobasket.com as one of the top 100 teams in Europe. I think it is a pretty high level, but still a long, long way from the NBA.

Saw a tweet yesterday that DJ had offers from a couple of NBA teams but none were guaranteed contracts. He will be making some very good money in Russia. Hard to pass that up for something that is far from a sure thing... They did say that he plans to play in NBA Summer League next year.
