“Maccabi” Tel Aviv has announced the signing of center Armando Bacot from Fenerbahce on a two-year contract.
Last season marked Bacot’s debut in the EuroLeague, where he averaged 2.4 points and 1.8 rebounds per game. In the Turkish league, he posted averages of 6 points and 3.7 rebounds.
It is also expected that “Maccabi” will soon finalize a deal for former Atlanta Hawks guard Keaton Wallace. The 27-year-old American averaged 3.5 points, 1.1 rebounds, and 1.8 assists over 10 minutes per game last NBA season, shooting 37.3% from beyond the arc. Wallace is set to replace Lonnie Walker, who transferred to the Denver Nuggets at “Maccabi”.
