Tony Easley inks with Giorgio Tesi Pistoia

Tony Easley (206 cm, Murray State’10) has agreed to terms with Giorgio Tesi Group Pistoia from Italy’s Serie A. The player recently departed Eskisehir Basket (Turkey-TBL), which ended by a brief stop over after beginning the season with Ironi Nes-Ziona (Israel-Winner League) where he logged 11 games and averaged 5.6 ppg and 4.1 rpg.

The American has spent the last three seasons in Italy and during the 2013/2014 campaign represented Umana Reyer Venezia and Reggia Juvecaserta in the top flight Serie A, so this is a comeback of sorts for Easley who is comfortable and experienced with the league. Over fifteen games for Venezia the power forward averaged 7.8 points and 4.1 rebounds per game, while over the same amount of appearances for Juvecaserta he logged 7.2 points and 5.6 rebounds per game. Tony Easley featured for Banco di Sardegna Sassari during the 2012/2013 season and averaged 11.4 points and 5.6 boards from 36 appearances.
