"...and will likely be the only rookie playing in Euroleague this season."

Where or what is White going to be playing in?

Here is what the PC said about White signing in Germany, whatever the hell a EuroCup team is.

The former Iowa basketball star has agreed on a one-year deal to play for a EuroCup team based in Bonn, Germany

Good for Gabe! I am guessing he is making a healthy 6 figures.

Gabe and White are going to have a lot of fans in Germany. They both were fun to watch and explosive at times. I think Gabe has a shot at the NBA next year if he can get up to 235 lbs.

They will both end up in the NBA at some point. I love Gabes game and White just needs to develop. White has that intangible that he has had since I watched him in HS. He's a winner. Gabe has soo much talent once he learns how to use it. He will be a contributor in the NBA;

Anyone know how much "lucrative" is?

Probably in the $150-200,000 range.

Good luck to Gabe and to Aaron White. I look forward to seeing them in the NBA next year.

I don't know that Aaron White was free to sign with any Euro team he wanted. Wizards don't have a D-league affiliation from what I understand and just send their players over seasons to develop. So playing in the Eurocup might have more to do with Wizards right to him then weather he's talented enough to be in the same Euro leauge as Gabe.

D-league players pay is capped at something ridiculously low like 25k, so hopefully both of them are making much better than that.

I think Aaron will do well in Europe, and with the injuries on every NBA team, he just might be called back. Would love to watch him in the NBA.

The only team that can sign White is the Wizards and I doubt he will get a look from them until next summer. He probably won't have an in-season out in his contract with his German team either.
