Every year, players finish their college career in Spokane with the Gonzaga Bulldogs. But that is rarely, as in almost never, the end of said player’s career playing basketball.

While the NBA is only for a select few, many others have incredibly lengthy and lucrative careers playing in any number of other countries. Currently Gonzaga has alumni suiting up in Russia, Germany, Lithuania, Japan, France, Belgium, Italy, Greece, Hungary, and more.

Most are recent alumni, as you might expect, although many of you will be quite surprised to see a few of the names on this list because of how long ago it was they were playing at The Kennel.

Below is a compiled list of every Zag playing professionally, organized by NBA, G-League, Europe, Asia, and at the bottom the ‘unsure’ category. These are guys who may not be done playing, but who either are not signed right now or it is unclear if they are on a roster.

There is also a category for former players who are coaching either at the collegiate or professional level, although I don’t believe this list is complete, and a look at players who transferred out and are still playing in college.

If anyone has any information on players I may have missed, please let me know.
