Panathinaikos OPAP has signed Daryl Macon (26, 1.88 meters) for the next two years (1+1). Daryl Macon Jr. is a basketball player born on born on November 29, 1995 in Arkansas, USA. He is a shooting guard who last played for AEK BC. Macon began his college basketball career at Holmes Community College, where he was named a junior college All-American after averaging 23 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game as a freshman. He transferred to Arkansas Razorbacks.
Eric Musselman and the Arkansas Razorbacks on Thursday extended 2022 Creed Williamson of Little Rock the opportunity to become a Hoop Hogs legacy, offering him a scholarship roughly 26 years after his father led the school to its only national championship in college basketball. Williamson (6-8 forward, Little Rock Christian Academy, Joe Johnson Hawks) is the son of Razorbacks legend Corliss Williamson, who was a two-time SEC Player of the Year and the catalyst for the Razorbacks’ national title in 1993-94 before a long NBA career that included a season playing for Musselman.
Isaiah Joe formally ended his Arkansas Razorbacks playing career just over a week ago, and now he’s entrusting a member of the Hogs’ family to help him cement his place among the 60 selections in the upcoming 2020 NBA Draft. Joe has hired Mike Conley, Sr. — former Arkansas track-and-field great who won a gold medal in the triple jump in the 1992 Olympics — as his agent in preparation for the draft that is currently scheduled for Oct. 16.
Joe, a 6-foot-5 shooting guard, averaged 16.9 points and 4.1 rebounds last season. However, he missed six games in January and February due to a knee injury. Without Joe in the lineup, Arkansas went 1-5. With a healthy Joe, the Razorbacks were 19-7. "We are so excited to have Isaiah back," coach Eric Musselman said. "He received incredible feedback from the NBA and got valuable experience with NBA interviews. We know how hard of a decision this was for Isaiah and his family. Zai's goal is to have a long NBA career and we can't wait to continue helping him reach his dream."

He averaged 9.6 points per game as a freshman in 1996-97 for Nolan Richardson and the Razorbacks, and finished his career in Stillwater in 1999-2000, averaging 11.7 points for a team that advanced to the Elite Eight. Alexander admitted to stealing a scholarship check from then-teammate Ivan McFarlin at Oklahoma State, and told Sports Illustrated that he received $10,000 from boosters and didn't attend class. In 2002, Alexander was charged with stealing $150,000 in cash and jewelry from former Major League Baseball player Derek Bell.
Sonny Weems: Guess the NBA guys that decided to go overseas are looking smart right now. I’m still over here collecting checks while others are looking for a job at BestBuy. But hey, sometimes I wish I was in the States watching some football games… My Arkansas Razorbacks might win a national title this year!
