Galatasaray Odeabank strengthened their roster with addition of 28-year old American point guard Jordan Taylor.
He played most recently at Hapoel Holon in Israeli Winner League. In 25 games he recorded 10.2ppg, 3.3rpg, 4.1apg and 1.3spg last season. Taylor helped them to win the regular season.
The previous (15-16) season he played at ALBA Berlin in German BBL where in 33 games he averaged 11.5ppg, 2.8rpg, 4.4apg and 1.1spg.
Tofas are going to host Anadolu Efes at home when these two teams will go head to head in the only game in the Turkish basketball league which takes place tonight. Its the second game in this semi finals series as the first one was all Tofas' as they dominated the game from the beginning at kept Anadolu to 63 points while scoring 91 themselves. I expect Tofas to play well again here specially on offensive end but I expect Efes to come out stronger on their offensive end and hopefully they will go close or over 80 here which should push the total over in this one.
Besiktas players skip training in protest to debts
Besiktas’ players decided to skip training until the financial differences between them and the club are settled
Besiktas is going through financial struggles these past few months and according to sources close to Eurohoops, the team hasn’t paid its players in four months.
As a response to these financial debts, the players refused to attend the team’s training on Wednesday morning.
What is more, is that the club personnel has also not been paid for an even longer period, though the timeframe of these debts is unspecified.
According to the same sources, unless the payment issue is resolved, players don’t intend to get back to training, so the problem has the potential to be long-term.
