Just four days after being released by the Minnesota Timberwolves, G Blake Stepp signed a one-year contract with KK Partizan Pivara MB, Serbia's defending champion and a Euroleauge participant.

Blake Stepp was the second to last (58th overall) selection of the 2004 NBA Draft by the Minnesota Timberwolves. He was a four year player at the Gonzaga University, averaging 13ppg, 5apg, and 3.9rpg during his collegiate career.

In Partizan, Blake will team up with at least four probable future NBA Draft picks. The roster currently includes C Kosta Perovic, C Predrag Samardziski, F Luka Bogdanovic, and G Uros Tripkovic.

He is expected to arrive in Belgrade early next week.
