As most overseas leagues have finished their seasons, let's take a look at where some of the players who started their careers at Duke before transferring to other schools are playing now professionally.
 
Eric Boateng rejoined Saint-Vallier in France's third division, but had most of his season disrupted by injury, including missing the key playoff stage where the team fell short in their quest to win the playoffs for the last spot in the second division.
 
Olek Czyz had a long recovery from injury, but was finally able to return to action part way through the season with Wloclawek in Poland joining them in time for a thrilling playoff run that saw them win the championship.
 
Alex Murphy signed with Sznolnoki Olaj in Hungary, but an early injury kept him out for the rest of the season.
 
Rasheed Sulaimon returned to France, switching teams to Levallois as he had another strong individual season despite battling an injury.
