Keeping talent in the G-League is tough to do, with NBA call-ups, overseas contracts and higher pay elsewhere making it hard for players to do back-to-back years. After the 905 won the D-League championship, it was expected many of the players would not return without a camp guarantee or a two-way contract. Since no 905 players got either of those many have looked elsewhere to ply their trade.
So far sharpshooter Brady Heslip has signed in Turkey, Antwaine Wiggins signed in Greece, C.J. Leslie is off to Lebanon, Yanick Moreira signed in Russia and Axel Toupane, a borderline NBA player, signed in Lithuania.
