Former Crosby and Loyola Marymount standout Anthony Ireland hasn’t had a ton of playing time in Greece with the professional Arkadikos team so far this season.
When Ireland does get on the floor though (93 minutes in 6 games), he puts up some pretty good numbers.
Ireland is a respectable 16-of-35 (45.7%) from the field, including 4-of-11 on 3s, according to statistics posted on basketball-reference.com. Ireland has scored 48 points, dished out 12 assists and collected three steals. He has turned the ball over seven times and is a solid 12-of-16 (75%) on foul shots.
Arkadikos is in the Greek Basketball League’s top level.
Ireland played for Elan Chalon in the French Ligue Nationale de Basketball Pro A last year. That team was in France’s top-tier division. Ireland has been a good player no matter where’s played, so hopefully he’ll get more playing time.
