Spanish EuroLeague club Baskonia is reportedly interested in signing guard Jamir Young, a player who was mentioned in leaked emails from Maccabi Tel Aviv's professional management. Maccabi Tel Aviv has yet to sign a guard to bolster its backcourt, and while they are still searching, other EuroLeague teams are actively pursuing candidates.
Young, 26, stands at 1.84 meters and played college basketball for Charlotte and Maryland. After going undrafted in the 2024 NBA Draft, he began his professional career in the NBA G League. He later had opportunities with the Chicago Bulls and Miami Heat. During the 2025/2026 season, he was a key player in the G League, averaging 25.9 points, 8.5 assists, and 4.9 rebounds, shooting 46.2% from the field, 36.3% from three-point range, and 84% from the free-throw line.
Young also participated in the NBA Summer League, where he averaged an impressive 20.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 4.0 assists per game, but did not secure an NBA contract. He recently joined the Lakers' G League affiliate, playing one game so far. While Young is still aiming for an NBA career, he may come to Europe, with Baskonia identified as a strong contender to sign him.
