With Galatasaray still trying to find its chemistry, an old face may return to the roster. According to Eurohoops sources, coach Ergin Ataman wants Errick McCollum back and the American guard is not negative to the idea.
McCollum who is currently playing in China, had a great season with Galatasaray last year and his season in the Chinese CBA with the Beikong Fly Dragons may end on February, depending on the playoffs chances of the team.
The older brother of Portland’s CJ McCollum is not excluding anything at the moment and there’s no rush. Galatasaray can register a new player in EuroLeague until the 24th round, however the possible addition of McCollum has much more to do with the Turkish BSL than the EuroLeague. And since the beginning of the season, Ataman in every chance he had to talk he repeats: “We did a mistake by not keeping McCollum for this season”.
Galatasaray has only mathematical chances for the EuroLeague playoffs and they want to improve in order to compete for their domestic champions title.
