ALBA Berlin is starting to make moves ahead of the next season between BBL and EuroLeague, and the first arrival of the summer for Israel Gonzalez’s team is the 26-year-old American forward Justin Bean, who signed for three years with the German powerhouse.
Coming out of Utah State, in his final NCAA year he put up 17.4 points, 9.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 1.6 steals across 34 games. In his first-ever professional season in the G-League, Justin Bean averaged 10.3 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 1.0 steals for the Memphis Hustle.
After saying goodbye to Luke Sikma, who officially joined Olympiacos to replace Sasha Vezenkov, the Oklahoma native will probably take the spot of the 33-year-old fellow-countryman veteran.
Willkommen, Justin! 🙌🤝 Power Forward @justinbean34 verstärkt unser Team und hat einen Dreijahresvertrag erhalten.
