Matt Howard signs with Ratiopharm Ulm in Germany

After spending all of last season in France, former Butler forward Matt Howard will be playing for Ratiopharm Ulm in Germany for the 2013-14 season.  Notable players who have played for Ratiopharm include 2-time NCAA national champion Lee Humphrey and former NBA player Allan Ray.  Last season in France, playing for Chorale de Roanne, Howard averaged 9.0 PPG and 6.1 RPG in 24.7 MPG.  2 years ago, Howard had a stint in Germany with Neckar Ludwigsburg (in the same league as Ratiopharm) averaging over 12 PPG. Before that he had a brief, injury plagued stint with Olympiacos in Greece before the team released him.  I'm looking forward to watching Matt continue his professional basketball career in Europe with the hope that he could still eventually become one of those journeymen who makes the NBA at age 30.
