Since the NBA's Portland Trail Blazers waived Caupain in 2019, he has played for Hapoel Holon of the Israeli Premier League, Filou Oostende of the Belgian Pro Basketball League and ratiopharm Ulm of the German Basketball Bundesliga.
He was named ratiopharm Ulm's team MVP earlier this month:
In July 2018, Caupain signed a two-way contract with the NBA's Orlando Magic . In four games for the Magic, he averaged 2.5 points and 1 assist per game.
Caupain scored a game-high 22 points in 24 minutes off the bench in his 2018 NBA Summer League debut in the Magic's win against the Brooklyn Nets in Las Vegas.
He averaged 15.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.4 steals in 51 games the previous season for the Magic's G-League affiliate in Lakeland.
Caupain played for the Toronto Raptors' NBA Summer League team after going undrafted in 2017.
Caupain is the only player in UC history with more than 1,300 points and 500 assists. He had a school-record 515 assists and tied Cashmere Wright for 22nd place on the UC career scoring list with 1,317 points.
As a senior, he also helped lead the Bearcats to a 30-6 record and the program’s seventh consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance.
