Cleanthony Early signs deal with Hungarian team

Former Wichita State forward Cleanthony Early has signed with Atomeromu SE, a team in Hungary’s top-tier league.

Since being drafted by the New York Knicks in the second round, Early has had a turbulent start to his professional career. Early was shot in the leg during a robbery in New York, but recovered and spent a few years in the G-League. Last season, he made a pit stop last year in Japan with the Hachioji Bee Trains.

After committing to Wichita State, following two years at Sullivan County Community College, Early averaged 15 points and six rebounds per game.
