The new Siena will have a familiar face in its roster. Former NBA player Mario Kasun signed with the Italian champions. After a career that included teams like Barcelona and Efes Pilsen, 32 years old Kasun returns to Euroleague after two seasons at his home country and KK Zagreb.

One more Euroleague team, Partizan Belgrade, found the right player for its front line. There isn’t an official announcement yet, however the deal is done, as it was reported by novosti.rs and rookie power forward Drew Gordon from University of New Mexico will be playing in Serbia next season. Gordon is expected to be used also as a center, something very familiar to him from his college days.
