Man-mountain Greek center Sofoklis
Schortsanitis has left his country’s pro league to sign with Maccabi Electra
Tel Aviv of the Israeli League on a reported two-year deal, according to The Hoop. The 25 year-old, 6-10 center nicknamed “Baby Shaq” is a veteran of Euro
leagues playing in Greece
and Italy
during the last nine years. Sofo averaged 8.4 ppg and 3.0 rpg in 41 (including
19 in EUROLEAGUE) total games with Greek club Olympiacos last season.
“As soon as I made the decision not to keep playing in Greece, I
started looking for a big club, one that was well-run and had a great
reputation, where I could make a contribution – I found all that with Maccabi
Tel Aviv. I’m very excited to come to Tel Aviv and to Nokia Arena. I know the
club, its fans and its impressive accomplishments very well, and I’m going to
do everything I can to continue to glorify Maccabi Tel Aviv.”
