In fact this is a very clever move by Luke's agent.  Recognizing that Luke would not get a chance to play in the NBA and not wasting time with summer league, he finds him a way to get high level Euro experience right away and a place on a team where he'll likely get minutes right away because their #1 center from last year got drafted in the first round.

My uncle used to be the head coach for Armenia's national team and he said that usually the smaller countries are allowed to have 1 american on the roster and Armenia's is Boatright

Did someone mention Armenia?

Those of you who know me know I am very active about my Armenian ethnicity. To say the least I was a bit shocked to see Luke playing for the Havakakan but I loved seeing him in the tri-color. As some have mentioned teams get one international exception and that already is Boatright. 

So that means Luke has Armenian ancestry? Well as you can imagine, I don't think they are rolling sarma and cooking shish kabob in a tonir in the backyard in Germantown. Sounds like they just gave him a passport. No idea how they are allowed to do this, I was in touch with the last coach of the Armenian national team who I am somewhat close with and he was a bit surprised asking me where his Armenian ethnicity was.

Well, I don't know what my point is here other than they probably just gave him and Andrew passports, and that I am very excited as an #mubb fanatic and Armenian to have someone on the national team :)

They have some Armenians in the Milwaukee area, Racine in particular, maybe a grandparent in there somewhere.

My Dad, who usually prides himself on knowing the complete book of every Armenian in a 100 mile radius, has been researching this.

I agree with him. But that's because I don't think I've seen another.

The "great" David Lalazarian played for Pepperdine in the mid to late 90's and was an original ND signee I believe.

I think the inclusion of Ryan Boatright on the team as well points to that.  Good for Armenia, and great for Luke.

Right, but the difference is that everyone is supposed to have 1 international exception and that is Boatright. Not Luke.

That's a great reaction by his teammates. :o

I think the fans were more excited than the team.

Well they are getting pretty liberal with citizenship connections, cause I just noticed AJ Hess.  Maybe if your grandparents had an Armenian friend at some point, thats enough  ;D
