Dee Brown to play in Italy
July 21, 2011 5:34 PM
Former University of Illinois point guard Dee Brown signed a one-year contract with Banca Tercas Teramo in Italy on Thursday.
Brown spent last preseason with the Dallas Mavericks before being waived in October. He played four months in China and finally played 15 games in Puerto Rico. He left Puerto Rico before the end of the season to return to Chicago for family medical reasons. Brown previously played in Italy for Air Avellino in 2010.
"I signed with Teramo pretty much because they were going to make me the focal point of the team," Brown said. "I'm the first person they're going to sign and will build the team around me."
