Alexander is close to finalizing a contract with Maccabi Tel Aviv of Israel, Eurobasket.com reports. After flaming out with the Bucks after being selected with the eighth overall pick in 2008, Alexander hasn't appeared in the NBA in four seasons. He's currently a member of the Santa Cruz of the D-League, but the imminent deal with Maccabi likley represents a more lucrative opportunity for the forward.

Former Bucks first-round pick forward Joe Alexander has been invited to training camp by the Warriors. He was a real bust with the Bucks after being taken with the No. 8 pick in the 2008 draft and it would be surprising to see him back in the NBA this season.

Joe Alexander has signed in China with Liaoning. Remember Alexander? He was picked eighth overall by the Bucks in 2008, ahead of Brook Lopez, Roy Hibbert, JaVale McGee, Serge Ibaka, Ryan Anderson and Nicolas Batum, among others. Needless to say, that pick didn't exactly work out.

Joe Alexander's one-year contract with the Russian team Krasyne Kaylya Samara will not include an out clause to return to the NBA this season. Alexander has largely been a bust since being selected eighth overall in the 2008 draft by the Milwaukee Bucks. He'll likely attempt to return to the NBA once the labor dispute is resolved, but he's a fringe player who may or may not find his way back into the league. Similarly to Gerald Green, Alexander's athleticism hasn't translated into his finding success.

Joe Alexander has signed with Russian team Krasnye Krylya Samara. The team also agreed to terms with ex-NBA forward Jarvis Hayes last week as well. Both should do better overseas than they did during their tenure in the NBA.

The Nuggets have invited Joe Alexander, Rodney Carney, and DeMarre Carroll to a free agent minicamp this weekend. More players will be in attendance, and judging by this list the Nuggets are looking for an athletic swingman.
