The MLP Academics Heidelberg have found a fresh playmaker for the new BBL season.
Eric Washington (29) will receive a one-year contract, according to club information on Thursday. Last season, the US-American played for the French second division club Aix Maurienne Savoie Basket before moving to the BBL club Niners Chemnitz in December.
“We wanted to sign a point guard who can create chances especially in transition, after blocks and out of isolation,” Heidelberg’s new coach Joonas Iisalo said about the 29-year-old. “In addition, it was important for us that this player plays defensively with commitment and passion. I believe that we have found just such a player in Eric. “
