Hopefully Mr. Ruoff signed up for frequent flier miles. After criss-crossing the country a few times for workouts before the NBA Draft — in which he went undrafted before signing on to audition for the Washington Wizards — he’s now headed to Las Vegas for his shot at stardom in the summer league.

And then, if that doesn’t work out, it’s off to Belgium!

Belgacom Liege has signed 2 more players for the 2009-2010 season. First one is American guard Alex Ruoff (198-G-86) and the second is Belgian guard Guy Muya (190-G-83) who returns to Liege.

Ruoff just finiished his college career at West Virginia where as senior he averaged 15.7 ppg, 3.6 rpg and 3.4 apg.

This past season he earned Big East Scholar-Athlete of the Year. He also made it to the NCAA All-Academic team twice. He was also invited to the pre-draft Portsmouth Invitational after his senior year.West Virginia’s career three-point field goal leader has signed with the Washington Wizards.

Ruoff will play for the Wizards summer league team which begin practices on July 10th. All summer league games will be played in Las Vegas.

Hmmmm.

Knowing what I know — and it’s not much — he likely has a contract with Liege that includes an NBA out clause allowing him to leave Liege without penalty if he can get on with an NBA team.

He has a chance to open eyes in Vegas. First is just a tryout, though if he makes the summer league squad he figures to play a bit for a team that traded its only draft pick and is bringing only two players with guaranteed salaries to Vegas.
