DES MOINES, IOWA -- Recent Drake graduate Adam Templeton, who was a two-year starter for the Bulldog basketball team, has signed a contract with SCH Wuerzburg in the Pro A Germany Basketball League.

"He is a good shooter and smart player," stressed Baskets head coach Marcel Schroder. "He wants his first pro job here. Drake plays a similar system like us and that should help him. He is a real fighter."

The six-foot six-inch Templeton was named to the six-player MVC Most Improved basketball team as voted on by the league's 10 beat writers in 2010.

An honorable mention All-MVC choice, Templeton led the MVC in three-point field goal percentage (.458) and defensive rebounding (5.7 avg.), while ranking third overall in rebounding (7.4 avg.).
 
He nearly doubled his scoring output from 2008-09, averaging 9.8 points, compared to 5.5. He also surpassed his 2008-09 totals in three-point baskets (56 to 35) and rebounding (243 to 127).

A native of Rapid City, S.D., Templeton  enjoyed four double-doubles and owned the top three individual single-game rebounding highs in the MVC as a senior in 2009-10 with 16 against South Dakota, 14 vs. Illinois State and 13 at Southern Illinois.
