Greek basketball club Olympiacos is reportedly considering Maccabi Tel Aviv guard Keaton Wallace as a potential transfer target. According to reports from Greece, Olympiacos has been monitoring Wallace for some time, including during the Las Vegas Summer League. The Greek team is said to be in need of a point guard with strong offensive capabilities, and Wallace is seen as an interesting option.
Wallace's transition to European basketball with Maccabi Tel Aviv has been challenging, though he recently had a strong performance in the Winner Cup final derby, scoring 16 points and contributing to a significant comeback. Despite his struggles, his potential has attracted attention from abroad.
Greek media noted that while Olympiacos lacks a player like Jan Vougioukas, they are seeking a similar offensive-minded guard. They acknowledged the difficulty of acquiring such a player, especially from a rival, as it often requires paying a release clause from an existing contract. However, they suggested Wallace could be a viable option, especially since Maccabi Tel Aviv has recently bolstered their guard position with the additions of Kameron Baldwin and Pierria Henry.
This season, Wallace has averaged 9 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 3.3 assists in the Israeli league, and 5 points, 2 assists, and 1.7 rebounds per game in the EuroLeague.
