Avery Scharer height - How tall is Avery Scharer?

On May 2, 2016, it was reported that Scharer would sign with the OSK Basketball Club of the Thailand Basketball League.

On November 23, 2015, it was announced by Philippine Basketball Association commissioner Chito Narvasa that Scharer was one of the 215 aspirants for the 2015 PBA D-League Draft, which was to take place on December 1, 2015.

On December 1, 2015, he was drafted fifth overall by the Wang's Basketball Couriers in the PBA D-League rookie draft held at PBA Café in Metrowalk, Pasig City. However, due to some undisclosed reasons, Scharer never played for the team.

On August 8, 2014, he made his much-anticipated debut for the Dragons in the ABL with a three pointer in the dying seconds to tie the game against Saigon Heat in regulation, which they eventually won. During the league's regular season, he posted averages of 15.1 points, 6 rebounds and 6.53 assist per game, while leading the league in assists (6.5) and steals (2.6) per game. He also helped the Dragons reach the Finals to face the Hi-Tech Bangkok City, but was swept 0-2.

Scharer applied for the 2012 NBA draft but was undrafted. In that same year, he then applied for the NBA D-League Draft along with current PBA player Japeth Aguilar, but was also undrafted. Yet, he did receive phone calls from NBA teams as well as in the overseas, particularly ABL teams, expressing their interest for his services. This made him decide to play professionally in the Philippines as he considered it as a step closer to his NBA dream. Scharer first played professionally in Mongolia, playing for the Aravtuud Bulls of the Mongolian National Basketball League. He then played for the Seattle Mountaineers in the ABA, a team mostly made up of basketball players from the Seattle area.

In July 2009, he was arrested for conspiring to distribute BZP (a synthetic substance similar to ecstasy) with another gang member Dimitrius Tinsley. Both men pleaded guilty to drug charges related to the sale of BZP. On January 15, 2010, he was given an 18-month prison sentence by the US District Court, while Tinsley was given a six-year sentence.
