So, If Jamar was indeed named MVP of the Pre-Draft camp, He should definitely make it to the League, considering there are alot of Good players that were there...Like Lawson & Ellington from UNC.

[Farley]

According to the offical Portsmouth Pre Draft Camp website, Jamar was indeed named MVP of the tourny. They did go on and say though, some pretty high ranked college players opted out of tourny before it began....

now with it over does Buttler go over seas?

[ohioguy102474]

now with it over does Buttler go over seas?

Couldn't he still be a free agent signee?

[Greenwave88]

Couldn't he still be a free agent signee?

thats probably what he will be

[avationordy]

thats probably what he will be

well that mabe a option now but i just don't think that he is good enough i was watching ESPN last night and they said if you are
a SR and comming into the draft you probably are not that good. and will most likely not get drafted if you look at last night draft there
were 15 Freshman 10 or so sophmores and 7 JRs and only 5 SR and i can see what they are saying sorry but i just don't see buttler playing in the NBA anytime soon. but what do i know. good luck to him and best wishes on what ever he ends up doing.

[FrOnT RoW JOE]

I think he could go overseas and play if thats what he wants to do, but I really dont see him getting signed as a free agent, I hope he does though....

[ohioguy102474]

Butler getting his shot

[Osu4me]

Germany, Belgium, Israel, Turkey, Greece, I wouldn't mind my son getting a chance to go to them countries and play ball!! Best of luck to Jamar and his future!

Right On !

[ohioguy102474]

According to a few sources he's signed with a team in Italy. The Nets thing pretty much fell through when he injured himself in a workout.

[Farley]

congrats to him and i think he'll do very well over there and who knows he still might get a shot over here. this is a little off subject but does anyone know about tim pollitz has he gottin any offers or interest from teams overseas, does he even wanna play anymore?

[TiGgEr3]

Butler officially headed to Italy:

[Bandido]

According to reports Jamar signed for around $150,000 a year. Not bad, not bad at all. Congrats to him and good luck.

[Greenwave88]

Good luck to him.. A great player who will one day be in the NBA

[ohioguy102474]

(From the Lima News)

Former Ohio State point guard and Shawnee High School graduate Jamar Butler has been released by Eldo Caserta, the team he was playing for in the highest level of the Italian professional basketball league.

Butler's departure was announced in a one-sentence press release posted on the team's web site on Nov. 19, which said his contract had been terminated.

Butler, a starter for three-and-a-half years at Ohio State, finished his college career with 1,313 points. He averaged 15.0 points and 5.9 assists a game as a senior.

After playing a big role on OSU teams which finished runner-up in the NCAA tournament in 2007 and won the NIT last season, he was hoping to be selected in the NBA draft.

When that didn't happen, he signed with Eldo Caserta. He averaged 7.3 points and 2.0 assists in three games with that team this season.

At Shawnee, the 6-foot, 2-inch guard was a four-year starter and scored 2,412 points in his career. He was named Ohio's Mr. Basketball in 2004 and was first-team All-Ohio three years.

Here's the Leagues web url. Might be more to this story from what I'm reading. Maybe the coach and him might not of seen eye to eye on something.
