Maccabi Tel Aviv did a serious facelift in the summer and one of the players who left it as part of it is Derrick Williams. Now, the Greek media has reported that Panathinaikos is interested in joining the ex-Yellows, of which Diane Radonic is very impressed.
Last season Williams was one of the most prominent players in Maccabi Tel Aviv. The forward averaged 10.6 points, 3.5 rebounds and an 11.2 index per game in the Euroleague and was part of the Yellows’ promotion to the playoff quarterfinals in which they were eliminated by Real Madrid.
In addition, after being released from Hapoel Jerusalem, Martin Obsuhan is on his way to his debut season in the Euroleague. The Euro-hoops reported that the Belgian coordinator will sign for Willerban, when the official announcement is expected in the near future.
In doing so, Obsohan will man alongside Parker Jackson Cartwright (who has closed, but has not yet been officially announced) the back line of the team owned by Tony Parker, with it yet to be seen whether a more senior guard will be added alongside the two. As you may recall, ex-Maccabi Tel Aviv striker Chris Jones left the team a few weeks ago in favor of Valencia, when his star, Eli Okubo, also made the move to Monaco.
Obsuhan recorded a great season in the Jerusalem uniform, scoring 16.8 points, 5.1 assists and 4 rebounds on average per game in the Premier League. Even before that, he managed to play in the Nymburk, Bamberg and Abelino uniforms, among others.
At the same time in the Euroleague, after Tyler Dorsey rejected the offer to renew his contract at Olympiacos in favor of a two-way contract he is expected to sign in Dallas, the Greeks are close to finding a replacement. Now, the Greek team is close to a deal with Isaiah Kanan, who played last year in Kazan and Glatsray, SDNA reports.
