The clubs competing in the 2024/25 BKT EuroCup season continue to make big moves on the market.

Cedevita Olimpija has announced the addition of former BAXI Manresa power forward Devin Robinson on a one-year deal.

Robinson averaged 13.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 1.2 assists in 36 Spanish League games last season and will join Martinas Geben in Ljubljana, after they played together at Manresa.

The 29-year-old started his professional career with the Washington Wizards in the NBA, then played for several G League teams. He moved to Taiwan for the 2021-22 season with the Taoyuan Pilots and briefly joined Ulm, and played in EuroCup, before signing with Manresa in 2022.

Hankins moves to Romania

U-BT Cluj-Napoca also made a notable move by announcing the signing of Zach Hankins, who was the 2022-23 Israeli League MVP.

Hankins (2.11 meters, 27 years old) joins the club from Israeli side Hapoel Jerusalem, where he averaged 9.7 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in 12 Basketball Champions League games last season.

Hankins began his professional career with Czech club CEZ Nymburk in 2019-20 but finished that season with Maccabi Rishon LeZion in Israel. He spent the following year in the G League with the Birmingham Squadron, then played for Puerto Rican team Mets de Guaynabo in 2022 before joining Hapoel. Next season, he will make his EuroCup debut for Cluj.

Dreznjak joins Buducnost

Buducnost Voli also added another piece after completing the signing of Croatian swingman Mateo Dreznjak.

Former Cibona player Dreznjak (1.95 meters, 25 years old) has spent the last two seasons with Buducnost’s cross-town rival, SC Derby. Last year, he averaged 12.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 2.9 assists in 28 ABA League games.

He will also make his EuroCup debut next season.
