Alex Kennedy: Former NBA player Josh Selby has signed a contract to play in the AmeriLeague, according to sources. http://t.co/KamCJjjXdk
Selby, once the highest ranked high-school baller in the United States, led a class that features some of the NBA’s current-and-future stars. In a sense, he went from hero-to-zero. Selby bounced around the NBA and the respected D-League before heading overseas for stints in China, Croatia, and now Israel. It wasn’t for split second that the 23-year-old Baltimore native began to mull over retirement. “I went through a time where I was depressed with basketball. I got depressed because things weren’t going my way. I had thoughts of retiring,” Selby told Basketball Insiders following a team practice in Herzliya, a suburb city outside of the Tel Aviv.
As far as an NBA comeback goes, out of sight and mind. Selby said no scouts or NBA personnel have contacted him thus far, but it’s not troubling him at this point in time. “I want to help my team reach the playoffs and take them as far as possible. As long as I take care of business and win here, the NBA will come find me.”
