Maccabi Rishon Le Zion has signed 27-year-old forward Murphy Holloway, Eurobasket reported earlier today. Holloway is spending his second consecutive season in Israel after spending last season with Hapoel Gilboa Galil, where he averaged 15.9 points and 10.0 rebounds per game, finishing second in the Winner League in rebounds per game as Gilboa Galil narrowly missed qualifying for the playoffs after finishing 15-18. He also spent the summer playing for Globalport in the Philippines in the PBA League, averaging 27.8 points and 17.8 rebounds per game.

Maccabi Rishon Le Zion hope that signing one of the Winner League's top players last year will help them improve on their finish last season, when they went 17-16 and advanced to the semifinals of the Winner League Playoffs.
