Not able to make the team, he went back to Europe to play in the Italian Second Division, with Aurora Jesi, during the 2007-08 season. With Jesi, he won the Italian Second Division Cup.

The following season, 2008–09, he played with Teramo Basket in the Italian First Division, and enjoyed great success there, finishing second in the league MVP voting to Terrell McIntyre.[1] After playing in the 2009 NBA Summer League with the Portland Trail Blazers, he signed a three-year contract with the Italian club Montepaschi Siena,[2] but he first joined Virtus Bologna on a sports loan, until the end of the contract's first season.
