Bilbao didn’t lose much time and immediately found Shawn James’ replacement. And that player is Mirza Begic, who was officially announced by the Basque club and is expected to offer many solutions inside the paint.
The Slovenian center successfully passed the medical tests and signed a contract until the end of the current season. A few months ago, he came close to play in the NBA as a member of the New Orleans Pelicans, however there was no official deal. Last year, he played for Laboral Kutxa, averaging 6.5 points and 4.4 rebounds per game.
