The Final Four MVP, Nigel Hayes-Davis, and young gun Tarik Biberovic both have a good chance to play next season in the NBA. Fenerbahce publicly admitted that they are aware of the situation, and they are preparing themselves for this eventuality, as
Both players have very good chances to move to the US. Biberovic’s rights belong to Memphis, and Hayes-Davis was among the players who helped in Team USA Olympic preparation. So even if at this point there’s nothing solid and official on the table, the general consensus is that both may be gone in July.
That’s why, as it’s already reported by many, Fenerbahce has already a deal with Mikael Jantunen who is also leaving Paris and will move to Istanbul.
The Finn forward, born in 2000, averaged 7.5 ppg and 4.8 rpg. He is the “security” of the team in case Nigel Hayes-Davis leaves, and he is one more player from Paris’ core who is leaving France.
TJ Shorts is Panathinaikos-bound, and Tyson Ward has a deal with Olympiacos.
Interingsly enough, both players are also linked to the Memphis Grizzlies due to the presence of their former coach Tuomas Ilsalo, however at this point it seems that Biberovic is the more likely to play for Memphis.
