After getting his first chance in the NBA with the Rockets, Tim Ohlbrecht’s dream will continue with the Sixers. The team claimed the German center off waivers – and also his teammate in Houston James Anderson – and Ohlbrecht will have the chance to compete for a roster spot in Philadelphia.
However, the big NBA news concerning a European are about a former player. Arturas Karnisovas is the new assistant GM of Denver Nuggets. The former director of scouting in Houston is a well respected figure in European basketball and a star during the nineties, when he played for Barcelona, Olympiacos and of course the Lithuanian national team.
