Former Ole Miss star Marshall Henderson has continued his career in Iraq after failing to generate interest from NBA teams, reports Marc J. Spears of Yahoo Sports.

Henderson, who signed last month with Nift Al-Janoub in Baghdad, Iraq, gained national attention for his play with Ole Miss during the 2012-13 season. A brash, polarizing personality, Henderson gained infamy for his trigger-happy style of play and ability to score points in a hurry. During that season, he averaged 20.1 points per game while shooting 38 percent from the field and 35 percent from three-point range. The Rebels made a run to the third round of the NCAA tournament that year, upsetting Wisconsin in the first round behind 19 points from Henderson.
