Dae Dae off to a great start in his pro career, averaging 28.3 points in his first 3 games (and 37 in his debut). I don’t have any idea regarding the quality of the North Macedonia league, but I suspect that this will be the first stop in a long, successful pro career.

Looks like Dae Dae ended his North Macedonia career after 3 games. He is now playing in Serbia’s top pro league for SPD RADNICKI KRAGUJEVAC. In his first game, he had 18 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists.

Couldn't be happier for Dae Dae!

Great news! Good to hear DAE DAE is moving up and producing for his new team in Serbia. Quite a hotbed of basketball these days!

Really glad for Dae Dae. Always looked for him to finish the game for us.

From two days ago, "Dae Dae Grant just simply can't be stopped!":

Dae Dae will now be playing in Spain’s premier league, known as Liga ACB. The team is Peña Breogán. As far as I can tell, Peña must just be a sponsor, and Breogan is the actual city and name of the club. The team is located in the Galicia region of Spain which is interesting because the team’s social media posts are in Galician, not Spanish.

Thanks, BluffHunter. I believe the team is based in the small city of Lugo. Dae Dae could end up as the honorary King of the Galicians with his game and personality. Wishing him continued success.

Thanks for the update BluffHunter. Great to hear the success overseas of our Dukes. Dae Dae and Jimmy need to be playing in the NBA one day like Michael James did before them. NBA teams missed the boat big time on AJax who had the best of careers overseas.

18 points in his debut, classic Dae Dae.

It is classic Dae Dae; thanks for the update BluffHunter. Spain's Liga ACB is renowned for its high-quality basketball and It's one of the top professional basketball leagues in Europe. It includes powerhouses like Real Madrid and FC Barcelona among it's 18 teams. Aaron Jackson had great success here with Bilboa, leading them to the finals in his first year and a EuroLeague quarterfinal appearance. This set up Ajax for his big payday and success with CSKA Moskow. I'm hoping that Dae Dae does the same thing with Rio Breogan.

If you are in need of a spring basketball fix, there is a replay of today’s Rio Breogan vs Real Madrid game. It will be replayed on Friday 5/16 at 5:30pm on the Next Level Sports channel (#597 on Verizon Fios; Direct TV #623). Dae Dae had another very good game against the top team in the Spanish League. I would expect him to move up to another level in the offseason based on his performance.
