The Kings traded him -- I had nothing to do with this -- to the Indiana Pacers. So he's going to spend at least one year in the NBA because I ended up simming too far ahead. My original plan was to intervene and have him go to Europe and then have him eventually come back to the States.
But now there's going to be a different plan involving our man Reggie, who is most certainly not setting the NBA on fire.
Here's how his first season went overall.

All-NBA Rookie 2nd team isn't bad and he started almost all of the games for Indiana this year. They missed the post-season this year, however. It's almost assured that he will go back to Russia after this season, though, as he can make boatloads more than his NBA rookie deal. If nothing else, he proved he can play in the league and for him, that was prize enough.
"People doubted whether I had the talent or the makeup. They can't doubt me anymore. I proved them wrong," said Bishop.
