As the NBA season approaches, over 100 players have been released by their teams, creating a pool of talent that European clubs, including Maccabi Tel Aviv, are now considering. Maccabi Tel Aviv, currently holding a 4-2 record in the EuroLeague after a recent win against Valencia, is actively seeking to strengthen its backcourt with a scoring guard. With top European talent already signed, the Israeli club is looking towards the American market.
Several players released from NBA training camps and rosters could potentially join European teams. Brandon Boston Jr., 24, who struggled in his first European season with Fenerbahce, is being discussed with Besiktas after brief stints with the Milwaukee Bucks and Chicago Bulls in the preseason. The player, 26, a former lottery pick who played for the Toronto Raptors and Brooklyn Nets last season, was recently released by the New York Knicks and has been linked to European basketball.
Malaki Branham, 23, was cut by the Orlando Magic after two seasons with the San Antonio Spurs and limited play with the Washington Wizards. The player, 23, a talented guard drafted by Atlanta, played sparingly in the NBA and spent time in the G-League with the Lakers before being released by the New Orleans Pelicans. Alondes Williams, 27, a prominent G-League player who had a brief stint in China, was released by the Wizards after a temporary contract.
The player, 23, who played professionally for Dallas and in the G-League, has been released by the Mavericks and is reportedly being considered by Olympiacos due to his Greek citizenship. Jamir Young, 26, a prolific G-League scorer who had a temporary contract with the Lakers, was also released. These players, if they opt for Europe, could offer significant offensive contributions.
