Former NBA guard Wayne Selden Jr. has signed in Italy with Tezenis Verona, the team announced on social media (Twitter link). Selden will head back overseas after recently playing in Turkey and Israel.
Selden, 6’4″, joined the Knicks for training camp last fall and stuck around to start the regular season. New York waived him in January, creating roster space for a trade featuring Denzel Valentine to be finalized.
Selden has played 127 NBA games since going undrafted in 2016. In addition to the Knicks, he holds experience with the Pelicans, Grizzlies and Bulls, averaging 7.2 points in 18.8 minutes per game for his career.
Prior to declaring for the draft, Selden played three seasons at Kansas under head coach Bill Self. At 27 years old, he could still make a return to the NBA down the road, but it would likely depend on how well he performs overseas.
When at Kansas. I thought this guy was going to be a star in the league.
I liked his game too. Maybe he can do like PJ Tucker!
