Early had an excellent two-year college career playing for the Wichita State Shockers.
During his freshman season, he helped lead the Shockers to the Final Four, as they beat Pitt, Gonzaga, La Salle and Ohio State (before losing to Louisville).
His career averages were 15.1 points and 5.7 rebounds per contest while shooting 47.0% from the field and 34.8% from the three-point range in 75 games.
Following his two seasons with Wichita State, Early was the 34th pick in the 2014 NBA Draft by the Knicks.
He played two years for New York, and had career averages of 4.3 points and 2.2 rebounds per contest while shooting 34.6% from the field and 26.3% from the three-point range in 56 regular season games (nine starts).
Arguably the best game of his career came on January 8, 2015, when he put up 16 points, six rebounds, one assist and two steals while shooting 6/10 from the field and 1/1 from the three-point range in 25 minutes of playing time (against the Houston Rockets).
He is only 32, so while his NBA career is likely over, he could still end up playing many more seasons overseas.
