That's what I had heard. I was just wondering if he had signed with a team yet. He's the kind of guy that works hard and you always want to see him succeed.

Scott is playing for Albacomp (in Szekesfehervar, Hungary) in the Hungarian A Division. You can follow the team (if you speak Magyar) at:
http://www.albakosar.hu
and http://www.fehervarsport.hu/
Or, for English news, at: http://www.eurobasket.com/Hungary/basketball.asp
FYI, J.R. is playing in Germany with Konstanz in the Regional League:

I've heard that Tay has signed to play in the Swiss League, but no confirmation on that yet.
Looks like Seamus may not be back at Giessen - http://www.eurobasket.com/team.asp?Cntry=GER&Team=133 - in the German first division (Bundesliga) this year, so I'm not sure where he'll be playing. I'll try and find out.

Scott Morrison playing baksetball in Australia. Can't believe its been over 6 years since he played with the Viks:
Morrison thinks big for Tigers
For a big man, the little things in Australian life are giving Scott Morrison the most pleasure.
The 213-centimetre Canadian import is making the most of his first NBL season with the Melbourne Tigers, especially when it comes to communicating with those in his new city.
After six years in professional basketball, this is the first time Morrison has played in an English-speaking country. He played his college basketball in the US with Portland State before looking to forge a professional career abroad.
Unlike Australia, Canada's professional league is only in its fledgling stages, so the elite Canadians look to play overseas. Morrison has spent his professional career playing in Hungary, Estonia, Ukraine, Poland and Germany - he calls it doing the "Eastern Bloc tour".
"I was in the grocery store yesterday and just being able to ask where something was rather than walking around the store for 20 minutes, even just having conversations with people - it just makes life easier," Morrison said.
So far Morrison has acquitted himself well, blocking shots and making a big target in the paint but injuries and poor execution have left the Tigers with two straight losses.
They will be desperate to notch their first win when they host Adelaide 36ers.
Tigers coach Chris Anstey will be looking for more rebounds from Morrison and the Tigers against a Sixers team led by Gary Ervin and Anthony Petrie.
Morrison had his best game for the Tigers during a pre-season clash with the Sixers, scoring 26 points and pulling in 16 rebounds. He hopes he can get the ball in position to score on Sunday.
"Every day we are getting better at learning where each player wants the ball," Morrison said.
The Tigers have struggled since injuries hit several stars late in the pre-season so a full week with star Chris Goulding back and also late signing Ayinde Ubaka has helped the team.
Network Ten has elected to screen Sydney Kings v Perth Wildcats on Sunday.
