Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz found a young force it hopes to run its offense by signing point guard Nico Mannion to a two-year deal.
Mannion (22 years old, 1.90 meters) arrives from Virtus Segafredo Bologna, where he spent the past two years. Last season, in his Turkish Airlines EuroLeague rookie campaign, Mannion appeared in 19 games averaging 5.9 points, 2.6 assists and 1.4 rebounds. A year earlier, Mannion helped Virtus win the 7DAYS EuroCup crown, but he now moves to Baskonia in search from more playing opportunities.
