Chris Lofton Decides To Play Chicken, Signs To Play In Turkey


It has been reported that PG Chris Lofton has a signed a one year contract to play overseas in Turkey; Sunday evening.

Lofton attended the University of Tennessee where he was coached by Bruce Pearl. After staying and enjoying four successful seasons, Lofton entered the 2008 NBA Draft.

At 6-2 200lbs, Lofton was among the deadliest long range shooters in all of College Basketball, with his ability to nail shots in the clutch and was widely noted for his outstanding accuracy. However, he went undrafted in June, because of his lack of IQ at his position.

Hoping to play the role of the dark-horse, Chris joined the Denver Nuggets Summer League roster where he averaged 2.3 PPG, 0.3 RPG, and 60% 3pt shooting, coming off the bench in 5 games.

Here is a list of Lofton's accomplishments while at Tennessee under Bruce Pearl:

Led the Volunteers to the Sweet Sixteen during the 2006-07 season

Captured and set the All Time record for three pointers made at the University of Tennessee with 431

2006-07 SEC Player Of The Year  

2nd Team All-American during the 2006-07 season

3rd Team All-American during the 2007-08 season

The Denver Nuggets meanwhile, find themselves on the losing side of this transaction, one point guard short.

The best of luck goes to Chris Lofton and in his new endeavors in Turkey.
