His name is Moses Wright (25 years old, 2.06 meters). The American center of the Turkish club Merkezefendi stood out from the technical staff of Olympiakos and after a break caused by the injuries of Nikola Miludinov and Mustafa Faul, Giorgos Bartzokas was chosen for the position of the center, resulting in “red and white” in the player market.
The Piraeus side are in talks with the players' side of the new Merkezefendi team, there are discussions at an advanced level, but no deal is currently in place.
He's athletically tall, he's great in pick-and-roll situations, he always rolls to the basket with power, and he has a very good finish while also being a good rebounder.
Wright has been playing for a few weeks in the Turkish league, where after 5 games he is averaging 26.4 points, 8.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.4 blocks in 33 minutes.
He started his college career at Georgia Tech, while he has had two (short) NBA stints with the Mavericks and Clippers (in the 2021/22 season). In the 2022/23 season, he played with Jiang in China, where he averaged 12.1 points and 6.8 rebounds in 21 minutes.
He also played in China earlier this season, averaging 12.8 points and 6.5 rebounds in 20 minutes of participation, before agreeing to terms with Merkezefendi to fill the void left by Daniel Uduru, who left for Anadolu Efes.
