Professional career
editEchols first professional stop was with KR of the Icelandic Úrvalsdeild karla in October 2004.[2] On October 17, he requested to be released from his contract,[3] siding his unhappiness in Reykjavík and homesickness. KR granted his wish[4] but he rescinded on his request shortly after that[5] and continued playing for the club. After a rough start for KR, the team started to play better with Aaron Harper's arrival in January. Echols play especially improved, and in five games in January he averaged 30.6 points and 15.2 rebounds.[6] He helped KR win 7 of their last 11 games, making the playoffs as the 7th seed. In the playoffs, they fell to Snæfell in the first round, 1–2.[7]
Echols returned to Iceland in 2011 when he signed with Njarðvík. He was named to the 2012 Icelandic All-Star game[8] where he scored 10 points.[9] He helped Njarðvík to the playoffs where they were swept by Grindavík in the first round.[10] For the season he averaged 22.4 points and 11.1 rebound per game.[11]
