Justin Doellman to Barcelona?
FC Barcelona (Spain, Liga Endesa) is bolstering its roster for next season with the addition of Justin Doellman (206 cm, Xavier’07) it is being reported this morning. The American is enjoying his best season ever as he helped propel Valencia Basket to win the Eurocup and put the club in contention for the Spanish Liga Endesa. Doellman’s exploits this season have earned him the MVP award for both the Eurocup and the Liga Endesa, making the forward one of the hottest properties in European Basketball.
It would be quite a message from Barcelona if the club signs Doellman from Spanish rivals Valencia, although we should stress that neither club has confirmed the deal as yet. It is also said that Barcelona is looking to bring in EA7 Milan’s Keith Langford (193 cm, Kansas’05), the highest scorer in this season’s Euroleague. If Barca pulled off both signings it would be a major coup, bringing two of European Basketball’s best players to one club.
