Alexander agreed to a deal with Italy's Dinamo Sassari, EuroLeague.net reports. |
Alexander will spend his second straight year overseas after dominating D-League competition in the states. The former Bucks' lottery selection averaged 4.5 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 0.4 blocks in 12 minutes per game in the Euroleague last season. |

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. |
| Wed Sep 25 2013 | 20:57 | Joe Alexander gets invite from Warriors |
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. |

| Sun Aug 21 2011 | 14:10 | No NBA out clause for Joe Alexander in Russia |
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. |

The Hornets have released forward Joe Alexander. |
Alexander was the eighth overall pick in 2008 draft, taken by Milwaukee, but he hasn't panned out. He could stick with another team before long, but even so he wouldn't have fantasy value. |
| Wed Oct 6 2010 | 18:42 | Alexander, Pops battling for back up PF job |
Joe Alexander and Pops Mensah-Bonsu are battling it out for the backup power forward job in New Orleans. |
"I couldn't say one is ahead of the other right now," Monty Williams said. "They both have done a lot of good stuff." Whoever wins the job will be worth monitoring on draft night, but would only offer true value if David West goes down. |

| Mon Sep 20 2010 | 20:05 | Hornets agree to contract w/ Joe Alexander |
The Hornets have agreed to a partially guaranteed contract with forward Joe Alexander. |
A serious hamstring injury cost Alexander his entire season last year and there is no indication that he'll be worth owning in fantasy leagues any time soon. Ignore him, if he makes the team. |

| Fri Aug 6 2010 | 20:22 | Wolves to take a look at Alexander |
The Wolves are going to workout former lottery pick Joe Alexander. |
He climbed draft boards in 2008 when his pre-draft workouts and athleticism made him a trendy No. 8 overall pick. He has never come close to fulfilling the hype, however, and even though GM David Kahn has an affinity for former busts, his chances of being a fantasy asset in Minny are minimal. |
