Norris Cole moved from Maccabi FOX Tel Aviv and the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague to Italian club Avellino and the Basketball Champions League, as it was announced today.
A two-time NBA champion and a key player for Maccabi last season, Cole becomes the marquee name of the Basketball Champions League and also one of the main attraction of the Italian league.
“Cole is a player who does not need any introduction“, said Avellino’s sports director Nicola Alberani. “It’s an important move on the market that fits perfectly into our technical and human mosaic. He can play both guard positions, he has a lot of experience and he comes to Avellino convinced he can do well: We trust in its fast integration with his new teammates and we are sure that he will be a real added value for our roster. Thanks to all the staff, who had the necessary patience and allowed us to put the icing on the cake “.
