A busy offseason for Telekom Baskets Bonn reached the point of filling up the 2023-24 roster.
The reigning champions of the Basketball Champions League completed the squad with Savion Flagg. The 24-year-old forward averaged 14.5 points per game in Greece’s Basket League through his rookie professional campaign as a member of Lavrio Megabolt. Marking the next stop, he signed a one-year contract to join the German club.
Tyreese Blunt, Leon Bulic, Brian Fobbs, Harald Frey, Sam Griesel, Thomas Kennedy, Noah Kirkwood, Florian Koch, Till Pape, Christian Sengfelder, Benedikt Turudic, and Glynn Watson Jr. make out the remaining players for new head coach Roel Moors.
Bonn was drawn into Group F of the Champions League Regular Season. The six-game double-legged round-robin schedule will feature matchups against Bursaspor Info Yatirim, Hapoel Holon, and Rio Breogan.
Meanwhile, the Bursa outfit continued its own rebuild by adding both Ahmet Can Duran and Metin Turen and re-signing both Omer Utku Al and Enes Berkay Taskiran. Other players checking in were Anthony Brown, Jordan Floyd, Johnny Hamilton, David Mutaf, and Michael Young.
VEF Riga and Telenet Giants Antwerp were busy as well
Reconnecting to his youth career at the club, 22-year-old Rodrigo Bumeisters inked a one-year contract with VEF Riga. Dairis Bertans, Maris Gulbis, and Marcis Vitols emerged as the previous signings for the team located in the capital and largest city of Latvia.
Heading to the Qualifiers of the BCL, Telenet Giants Antwerp re-upped 26-year-old center Roby Rogiers for two more years.
