According to EuroBasket.com, Preston(!) Knowles has signed a professional contract with...let me make sure I'm pronouncing this correctly...SK Dnipro Azot Dniprodzerzhynsk (I'm serious) in Ukraine.

Knowles had originally planned to spend this year playing in Greece, but it took longer to recover from the "Lisfranc" injury he suffered in his left foot during U of L's NCAA Tournament loss to Morehead St. than he'd originally hoped.

Can't wait to bust out the SK Dnipro Azot Dniprodzerzhynsk jersey Santa brought me at the Georgetown game.

Best of luck, PK.
