Euro League
Sfeiropoulos buys from FC Bayern Munich and strengthens the Red Stars’ front line
From Munich to Belgrade comes Freddie Gillespie, a super athletic big man with rebound and block appeal.
Orgasm of discussions/negotiations in European basketball, with Red Star there, according to the Lithuanian journalist Donatas Urbona in the final phase of negotiations with Freddie Gillespie and Bayern Munich about a move for the American from Germany to Serbia and the conclusion of the 2023/24 season there.
Gillespie (27, 2’06”) is a surprisingly athletic big man who averaged 4.3 points, 6 rebounds and 1 block per 18:56 in 34 EuroLeague games last year, but he couldn’t outrun Pablo Lasso this year convince that he can help , which means that in 13 games in the top European competition he counts just 2.2 points and 2.4 rebounds per 9:11.
In Belgrade, Yannis Sfairopoulos also has Luka Mitrovic, Marko Simonovic, Mike Tobey, Joel Boloboi and Ognien Kuzmic and it remains to be seen whether any of them will leave or whether Gillespie will simply be added to this very crowded front line.
