Sorrentine as in TJ Sorrentine? That's the only one I know from that list.

I know them all. Jared Miller was, by far, the best of them all. Awesome player, with the ability to play at a much higher level than he did. Too bad that when he moved to France he was plagued by injuries. He had amazing post footwork and an incredible soft touch under the rim. A bit slim to the NBA, especially in those days, but he could have been a top player in Europe. Really enjoyable to see.

The other guys are very good players in a weak league like the Portuguese, some of them would be serviceable in a stronger one. Except Toree Morris, he's not even good for a league like the Portuguese. Amazing how a guy like that made a NBA roster. Size really helps you in the basketball world.

Yes, it's TJ Sorrentine. I think I read he ended his career in Slovenia after a torn ACL and is now coaching his alma-mater. Decent player.

One of those players was signed by the Bucks after leaving college, Greg Stempin. Nice guy.

I don't really remember much of him, he ended his career like Joana said. He always reminded me of a shorter Jason Williams.
