Napoli Basket is also already thinking about the future: Gevi scores the first coup of the summer transfer market. He is Zach Copeland, a 193cm guard born in 1997 in Oakland, California. Two-year contract for him, with the possibility of bilateral exit at the end of the first sporting season.
Copeland is a name known in Italian basketball news, the absolute protagonist of Pistoia’s promotion to the LBA in 2022/23, averaging almost 17 points per game, with 39.3% of shots from beyond the arc. Figures that earned him the move to Germany, to the Bundesliga, where last season, with the highly-rated Bamberg Baskets team, he confirmed an average of over 17 points per game, with 4.2 assists, and almost 40% shooting success from three.
“We have followed Zach throughout the year, we consider him a very important player who during the season confirmed everything good we thought about him,” explains Pedro Llompart, Technical Area Manager of Generazione Vincente Napoli Basket.” He is young, with great margins for growth, and he is a scorer who played a great championship, in a very important and historic European team, like Bamberg. He is also capable of assisting his teammates, having averaged 4.2 assists per match We think he is a perfect player for the style of play that our coach Milicic wants. His physical characteristics go very well with the ideas we want to work on next season.”
