After a very long flirt between the two sides, Chris Singleton is now a player of Panathinaikos as the Greek club officially announced. The American forward/center signed a 1+1 contract with the Greens.
Singleton had an impressive debut season in Euroleague with Lokomotiv Kuban last year, helping the Russian team go all the way to the Final Four for the first time in club’s history. Although he was a rookie in Europe, the 26 year old player immediately showed a strong adaption in tactics, system and style that were new to him, since he hasn’t ever played at such a high level of overseas basketball before.
He averaged 8.4 points and 4.5 rebounds in Euroleague while impacting the game in ways that numbers can’t describe, particularly on the defensive end. In the VTB League he scored 9.4 points and grabbed 5.1 rebounds per game.
