Crvena Zvezda Belgrade is close to signing John Brown III, one of the best defenders of the last Euroleague seasons.

Crvena Zvezda Belgrade are close to signing John Brown III, a player who will significantly strengthen the Serbian team’s forward line. This was reported by Donatas Urbonas of BasketNews, who said that negotiations between the parties are at an advanced stage. One of the best defenders in the EuroLeague in recent years is ready to return to action, even though Brown is still recovering from a serious shoulder injury he suffered at the end of last season.

John Brown III, who played for Virtus Roma, Treviso, Happy Casa Brindisi and Germani Brescia (just 3 games) in Italy last season, averaged 6 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.1 steals per game.
