Ex-Bull McDonald gets shot with NBA's Bucks

JULY 03, 2009

Former USF center Will McDonald, who has played professionally in Europe since 2003, is taking a step toward playing in the NBA and will play on the Milwaukee Bucks' team in the NBA summer league in Las Vegas starting next week.

McDonald, 6-foot-11 and 255 pounds, considered playing for the Bucks two years ago but instead signed a lucrative contract with TAU Ceramica, a top European team in Vitoria, Spain. The 29-year-old averaged 9.1 points and 4.4 rebounds per game for TAU Ceramica this past season.

McDonald played for the Bulls from 2000-03 and was the team's leading scorer and rebounder in 2002-03, averaging 15.9 points and 8.1 rebounds per game. The summer league in Las Vegas runs from July 10-16. Here's the official release from the Bucks' site.
