I think we can file this under "Where Are They Now?"
Remember Neil Fingleton? At 7'7", Fingleton was a McDonald's all-american in the class of 2000. He started out at North Carolina where, after redshirting a season and playing in just a single game in 2001-2002, he then transferred to Holy Cross. Things didn't get much better for Fingleton in the Patriot League, as he finished his career with a grand total of 89 points scored.
Clearly, Fingleton's basketball career never quite panned out. He flopped around Europe and the D-League for a while, but has apparently begun to pursue a different career.
As an actor?
Fingleton stars in the new X-Men: First Class movie ... as Russian General's Bodyguard 1. And according to his Wikipedia page, he's training for a much bigger role in the upcoming 47 Ronin, a movie about Samurais that stars Keanu Reeves.

Well Rob Dauster, I can confirm that Neil is playing a major part in 47 Ronin with Keanu Reaves.
Maybe basketball wasn't to be his niche, but may I ask what is yours? Are you a professional basketballer or actor?
Probably neither as you wouldn't be leaving crappy comments like yours!
