Brose Bamberg reacted to Frankie Ferrari’s retirement and provided Shannon Scott with a contract for the current season. The 28-year-old American last played for the Long Island Nets, the G-League team of the Brooklyn Nets. Before that he was active in Europe for Juventus Utena in the Lithuanian LKL.
Johan Roijakkers: “With the loss of Frankie Ferrari, we were looking for a back-up for Justin Robinson. We found that in Shannon Scott. He has a lot of experience and has already played in Europe. He will make sure that Justin gets the necessary breather. “
Shannon Scott’s basketball career seems to have been mapped out, as his father Charles Thomas “Charlie” Scott played in the NBA for almost ten years. There he was named champion with the Boston Celtics in 1976 and elected to the All-Star Team three times. His son learned to play basketball at Milton High School before moving to Ohio State University. In 2015 he signed a contract with the NBA team Toronto Raptors, but played mainly on the G-League team of the Canadians. A year later Scott went to Europe for the first time, was active for Lefkadas in Greece’s first division – and in the end led the league-wide statistics in “steals”. This was followed by positions with the Long Island Nets (G ‑ League), Panteras de Miranda (Venezuela) and in 2019 with Juventus Utena in Lithuania. Last season he was again active for the Long Island Nets, for which he has completed 110 games in his career.
Shannon Scott: “I have experience and can help the team as another strong voice on the floor. Together we want to build on the good start. I’m a player who finds the little things important, who always gives everything to get my teammates into better positions. Defense is extremely important to me. I’m looking forward to the team and to being part of a great organization like Brose. “
