After being passed over in last month's NBA Draft, former Tennessee guard Chris Lofton has signed a one year contract to play in Turkey, the Associated Press is reporting.

Lofton played for the Denver Nuggets' summer team in Las Vegas but spent most of the time on the bench.

Yeah I'm surprised no one picked him up or had an serious thought of signing him. What happened to his teammate JaJuan Smith?

His story is amazing and I really hope he succeeds.
