Kevin Dillard, formerly of MHP Riesen Ludwigsburg (Germany), has reportedly signed with Cholet Basket (France). Dillard signed with Ludwigsburg on August 2015, and averaged 11 points and 3.5 assists playing in France last season. The Dayton grad has also played in Italy and Latvia before playing in France last season.
Eurobasket and others are reporting that PF Yancy Gates could be on the move from Israel to China. The Cincinnati grad played for Hapoel Tel Aviv last season, putting up nearly 17 points and 6 boards a game in Israel's top division. The team that Gates is rumored to be going to is Shanxi Zhongyu, a team that finished in the top six in the Chinese Basketball Association last season. Shanxi could be getting rid of former Spurs center Jeff Ayres in order to make room for Gates, although that is only speculation as of now. Hapoel Jerusalem had been Gates' destination earlier in the summer, but China is definitely on the table. |
