Summer League is a distant memory at this point. Five games crammed into a small window, with developmentally raw opposition. Yet for Juhann Begarin, those two weeks in Las Vegas began a new chapter in his career, one where the level of talent he faced took a sharp upturn. He wasn’t offered a contract with the Celtics this season and instead, returned overseas for a draft-and-stash year abroad.
Since returning to France, Begarin has played in the "Jeep Elite," the nation's top-tier basketball league. European basketball has promotion and relegation like soccer, and Paris Basketball achieved promotion to their new league courtesy of finishing second in the LNB Pro B last season.
