July 25--Former Curie and Kansas big man Cliff Alexander, who was not selected in last month's NBA draft, signed with the Trail Blazers on Friday. Terms were not announced.
Alexander, a Chicago native, averaged 7.1 points and 5.3 rebounds while playing 17 minutes per game as a freshman at Kansas, a season that was derailed by an NCAA investigation into his amateur status. Alexander, a former top-five recruit, elected to leave Kansas after one season and declared for the draft. After going undrafted, he played for the Nets in the NBA's summer league.
He tweeted a photo of him signing with the Blazers on Friday with this message: "God has still found ways to bless me through the struggle. I am officially apart of the NBA Trailblazer family."
