Mustafa Shakur, who was Arizona’s starting point guard from 2004-07, returned to McKale Center last week to receive his diploma. He worked online for two years to earn a degree. His post-Arizona career could be a movie, or if not a movie, an education for those wanna-be draftees.
After not being selected in the 2007 draft, Shakur played for four D-League teams and for EuroLeague teams in Lithuania, Germany, France, Italy, Greece, Lebanon and Turkey. He completed his 10th pro season by averaging 5 points for Germany’s Wuerzburg franchise.
Now 32, Shakur got to the so-called “Show’’ for 22 games with the Washington Wizards in 2011 and for three games at Oklahoma City in 2014.
He was a McDonald’s All-American from Philadelphia in the UA’s recruiting class of 2003 that also included Kirk Walters and Ivan Radenovic.
