Endesa League
Jalil Okafor led Zaragoza to their first win in the Endesa league
Jalil Okafor is unstoppable in Zaragoza’s line-up against Unicaja Malaga on Matchday 2 of the Liga Endesa.
It was one of the biggest additions of the season in European basketball and despite not joining a EuroLeague team, Jalil Okafor is showing early on that he will make a difference in Liga Endesa and beyond.
The former NBA player, the No. 3 pick in the 2015 draft, scored 18 points (6/7 2-pointers, 1/2 3-pointers, 3/6 field goals), grabbed five rebounds, dished out two assists and scored a goal 21 points in 25:04. Zaragoza led Endesa to a 100:92 victory over Unicaja Malaga on the second matchday of the Liga Endesa.
Sandy Justa (20 points, 9/10 2 points, 2/2 shots) was also great, followed by Ciczarini (13 points, 3 assists) and Smith (15 points, 8/8 shots), while Nihad Jedovic (18 points) Will Thomas (165 points) and Dylan Osetkowski (15 points) stood out for Malaga.
