The giant Boban Marjanovic signs with Fenerbahçe
The Turkish team secures the services of the Serbian giant who stands at 2.24 meters tall.
Boban Marjanovic has been announced as the new player of Fenerbahçe, joining a revamped frontcourt alongside Khem Birch and Nicolò Melli. Istanbul's team fans can be pleased with this new addition.
Marjanovic (2.24m and 36 years old) returns to the EuroLeague after almost a decade in the NBA, where he played for teams like San Antonio Spurs, LA Clippers, Dallas Mavericks, and Houston Rockets. In his last EuroLeague season (2014-15), he was the only player in 19 years to average a double-double (16.6 points and 10.7 rebounds).
With this signing, Fenerbahçe strengthens its presence in the paint with one of the most dominant centers Europe has seen in recent years, hoping Marjanovic can stand up to other league towers like Tavares or Youssoupha Fall.
Undoubtedly, Sarunas Jasikevicius will have to manage minutes because the high experience and limited mobility of the Serbian giant could also pose a disadvantage on the court against other more agile centers like Willy, Lessort, or Poirier.
