The big dream of GeVi Napoli’s new era, marked by the signing of Igor Milicic, is Parker Jackson-Cartwright.
The American point guard was crucial in saving Besiktas, led in the just-concluded season by the coach of Poland’s national team.
After leaving Asvel, Parker Jackson-Cartwright produced 17.9 points and 7.7 assists in BSL. The name is reported by Cronache Napoli, but it is unlikely that the player will now choose a destination without European cups.
Vladimir Brodziansky and Joventut Badalona have reached an agreement for the next two seasons, according to Mario Gomez.
The Slovakian big man this year scored 7.4 points per game in ACB and 8.1 in Eurocup.
