Shein Larkin joined the ranks of “Anadolu Efes” in 2018/2019. After spending one year as a quarterback on the Boston Celtics. With the Turkish team, Larkin became one of the superstars of European basketball, also acquiring Turkish citizenship and becoming a key player in the national team.
Three seasons ago, Larkins was the Euroleague’s top scorer with an average of 25.8 points per game, but last year the basketball player helped Anadolu Efes in the strongest tournament on the Old Continent with an average of 18.7 points and 5.3 assists in 39 games.
Anadolu Efes has reached an agreement with the American basketball player for two more seasons, but the contract includes a clause that allows him to be redeemed by NBA teams. It has been rumored before that Larkin would like to see the Washington “Wizards” represented by Latvian basketball player Kristaps Porziņģis.
In the 2013 NBA Draft, Larkins was ranked No. 18, but the Atlanta Hawks, who drafted him, gave the player the right to play for the Dallas Mavericks. Unable to establish himself in Dallas, Larkin found himself in both New York’s Kicks and Brooklyn’s Nets, but after just three seasons, the basketball player went to Europe to spend his first season in Vitoria’s Baskonia. After that, Larkins went to Boston for a year, but now the basketball player has spent the last four seasons with the Turkish team.
