Sasha Vezenkov found his new basketball “roof” in the NBA!
The Bulgarian forward was traded along with Davion Mitchell and a pick from them Sacramento Kings to the Toronto Raptorswho in return gave the “kings” him Jaylen McDaniels.
THE Vezenkov was dissatisfied with their role in the Kings, with whom he had a contract for another year. Now, this is transferred to the Canadian team, which is actually coached by only the second European head coach in the history of the league, Darko Rajakovic.
It is worth noting that the Raptors is a team that is in the process of rebuilding, as it finished last season in 12th place in the East and gave away its top player, Pascal Siakam, traded to the Pacers. However, the Canadians are quite full in the forwards, with players like Scotty Barnes, Kelly Olynyk and Chris Buscher.
It remains to be seen if the Raptors intend to keep him Vezenkov to their potential, or if there will be another development with his career on the other side of the Atlantic. We remind you that even if the Canadians release him, his contract Vezenkov he will be up for… claim for 48 hours, for any team that wants to acquire him.
In his rookie season, the 29-year-old forward had 5.4 points (37.5% on 3-pointers) and averaged 2.3 rebounds in 12.2 minutes playing in a total of 42 games.
