With former Boston Celtics Kemba Walker, Juancho Hernangomez, Tacko Fall and Mfiondu Kabengele electing to take their talents overseas in recent weeks, the opportunities for former Boston players who can’t find the right spot in the NBA anymore have increasingly come into focus.

And it is not just Celtics fans taking note of the phenomena. Atlanta Hawks wing Bogdan Βοgdanovic spoke at length about the trend in a recent interview with Eurohoops. The Hawks star spoke about Walker joining Monaco and Bo Cruz’s move to Greece’s Panathinaikos, which he frames as a testament to the competitiveness of the EuroLeague in recent years.

Former Boston Celtics point guard Kemba Walker made a significant change to his stalled basketball career with a move to Europe. He joins AS Monaco after a 12-year career in the NBA.

In a recent interview with Eurohoops, the 33-year-old point guard expressed his excitement about joining a club that believes in him and why he sees the potential for him to help take it to the next level.

“The club was very interested in me, and I just wanted to be part of a club that wanted me, that believed in me,” said Walker. “I saw that the directors felt I could help them reach another level.”

“That’s what convinced me and made me decide to join Monaco,” added the onetime UConn standout. “What’s more, it’s an extraordinary city where I want to spend some time and gain new life experiences.”

“So it’s going to be a really fun time, and I’m looking forward to the opportunity. I just want to keep playing basketball at a high level, and Monaco allows me to do that.”
