The long saga of the summer came to an end with the signing of Ante Zizic at Maccabi Tel Aviv. The player will land in Israel tomorrow.
Zizic (23, 2.08m), who has played for the Cleveland Cavaliers from the NBA for the past three years, closed for two years and is expected to earn about $ 700,000 in the first year, and $ 1.1 million the following season. He actually comes in place of Tariq Black, and along with Othello Hunter will be one of the leading highs in Yad Eliyahu.
The player made his development in the Cibona Zagreb uniform, and after becoming an outstanding player in the Adriatic League - was selected in the 23rd selection by the Boston Celtics in the 2015 draft.
In the summer of 2017 Boston preferred to move Zizic in a triple trade to Cleveland (got some one, Kyrie Irving) where he made 113 appearances in three seasons. 2019 was his best season, playing an average of 18 and a half minutes per game in 59 appearances (in 25 of which he started in the top five) with averages of 8 points and 5.4 rebounds.
