CLEVELAND \u2014It\u2019s mid-August, so Keshun Sherrill keeps his phone close, waiting for the call from his agent to tell him what\u2019s next.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s not ready to retire.<\/p>\n
Sherrill, who graduated from West Rowan in 2012 after a phenomenal career and was one of the all-time greats in the Peach Belt Conference at Augusta, is still playing pro basketball. He turned 31 on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Sherrill weighs 73 kilograms (160 pounds) and is 175 centimeters tall (5-foot-9), so he has defied very long odds to play this long, but people learned to stop doubting him a long time ago.<\/p>\n
Basketball has allowed Sherrill to see the world. Or at least a lot of it. He\u2019s played professionally in Italy, Mexico, Holland, Turkey and France.<\/p>\n
The pro seasons are a grind. He played his first game of the 2024-25 season for a French team on Sept. 13. He played his last one in the Turkish Basketball League playoffs on May 1.<\/p>\n
He averaged 10.8 points in France, but he averaged 17.5 after making a move to Turkey, including a 34-point debut for his new team that included six 3-pointers.<\/p>\n
It was an efficient 17.5 points that he averaged, with 54.5 percent on 2s, 42 percent on 3s and 82 percent from the foul line. He added nearly 5 assists per game, so there\u2019s still some basketball left in his legs.<\/p>\n
