MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Former West Virginia men’s basketball forward Nathan Adrian spent his first year of professional basketball overseas with JSA Bordeaux in France.

He finished his first professional season averaging 17 points and 8 rebounds, and he was named a league player of the week twice.

The Morgantown High School alumnus is on the move again overseas. This year, Adrian was acquired by MBC Mykolaiv (Superleague) in the Ukraine.

Adrian had a big smile on his face when he was describing where he was living. Last year, according to Adrian, he could practically reach from one side of the common space to the other end.
