Jan Jagla

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jan-Hendrik Jagla (born June 25, 1981 in Berlin, Germany) is a German pro basketball player. He spent three seasons (2001/02-2003/04) at the Pennsylvania State University in University Park, Pennsylvania before turning pro. He went undrafted in the 2005 NBA Draft, but was recently signed by the Los Angeles Clippers for their training camp. Though he stands 7 feet tall, Jan has the game of a 2-guard, and his game much resembles that of Dirk Nowitzki.

Always a fan favorite at Penn State, Jagla could often be seen at local bars and nightclubs, where he was eager to sign autographs. In fact, fans so loved the 7 foot star that Penn State's Student Bookstore ran a promotional campaign passing out Jagla "Measure Up" posters at Penn State Basketball games. He is currently playing for Türk Telekom B.K. of the Turkish premier division with high expectations for the 2006/2007 season.
