Seems like everyone forgot about him. Is he an overseas player forever now or will he come back in the next few years?

Can't read the stats, but he was doing pretty well. He still had foul trouble, but there is a thread on here that you can search to find out recent stats. It hasn't been recently updated, but I check on these stats, and ask my euro friend to translate it for me lol.

As of now, most likely he's going to be stationed in Eurobasketball, and may come back once the season ends.

You can check some highlights here:

It is just offense, mainly finishing strong, screens and P&R.

I would love to watch some footage on his D. 

Positive: his team is in the next round of the Eurocup. He will get a taste of competition and he will get to play more often. Turkish league matches are once a week, otherwise.
Small negative: he has been playing a bit less recently. I hope it is some minor injury.

This is a from a late-December online article:

Quote
In 12 games for Besiktas of the Turkish basketball league, Iverson is averaging 8.33 points and 6.75 rebounds. His 81 total rebounds rank 11th in the league and he’s shooting 47.6 percent from the field, but the free-throw line has been an issue. Iverson is shooting 55.6 percent from the charity stripe.

His best single-game scoring effort came Nov. 16 in an 85-83 loss at Usak Sportif, when he scored 16 points.

TP.

I liked that video too.  Hard to translate the stats from European leagues I find but I like what I saw.  Learning to finish in space and catch bounce passes and finishes.  Pass inside out in a league with spacing that college won't have (and the NBA does).

He has such a great body and foundation, I'm pretty optimistic.
