Former Ohio State sharpshooter Jon Diebler has signed a contract with Hapoel Tel Aviv to further his basketball career overseas according to an announcement from the team. Details of the contract are unknown at this time.
At Ohio State, despite a slow start to his career, Diebler eventually became the Big Ten’s all-time leader for three-pointers made, including a ridiculous 50 percent of his three-point attempts his senior year.
Since graduating from Ohio State in 2011, Dielber was drafted by the Portland Trail Blazers in the second round of the NBA draft but did not make the team — instead signing a one-year contract in Greece. Since, he has continued his career overseas. His rights are currently owned by the Chicago Bulls after being traded from the Houston Rockets.

There aren’t too many shooters more adept at knocking down open looks from deep in the entire world. It should be a good signing if Hapoel Tel Aviv can use him in the right role.
