There are still many teams with needs in Euroleague and Thursday was also a day full of announcements. The most important one was the addition of Joe Ragland to EA7 Milano with a two years deal. Essentially Ragland is the replacement of Curtis Jerrells who will continue his career in Unics Kazan.
Bayern Munich announced the addition of 18 years old 2.16 meters center Daniel Mayr, a player who is an investment for the future. Something similar happened in Russia, with Niznhy Novgorod signing 19 years old big man Ilya Popov.
Meanwhile Unics Kazan, which is the favorite to prevail in Euroleague’s qualifying round, signed a one season contract with Valery Likhodey. Speaking of teams of the qualifying round, Belgian champion Ostend added the Polish league MVP J.P.Prince, Zielona Gora got from Bayern Munich Chevon Troutman, Strasbourg has a one year deal with Anthony Dobbins and ASVEL announced the extension of its leader Edwin Jackson.
