As first reported on his Twitter feed, Dan Mavraides has signed a three year deal with top Greek team Aris Basketball Club.
Playing in Thessaloniki, Aris B.C. went 14-12 last season, good for fourth place in Greece's HEBA A1, the premier professional league in the country. Aris also competed in Eurocup, advancing out of group play into the Top 16 pool a year ago.
With Mavraides now under contract, joining Pawel Buczak (Poland) and Kareem Maddox (The Netherlands), a question crossed my mind: When was the last time three Princeton teammates were simultaneously playing professionally overseas?

When Pawel Buczak said he had been playing in good leagues this summer, I did not realize one of them was Nike Pro City at Baruch College.
Earlier this week Buczak teamed up with a big man he had faced off against several times in college, Cornell center Jeff Foote. The pair's Dyckman team - despite the absence of NBA talents Marshon Brooks and Ryan Gomes - defeated Primetime at the buzzer in double overtime.
You can see extended highlights from this semifinal playoff above and after the jump. Buczak is wearing #53 on the orange team.
