Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv have officially announced the signing of one more prolific shooting guard.
The club has signed the former Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade guard Austin Hollins on a two-year contract.
"I'm excited about the vision of the coach and the entire organization," Hollins admitted after the signing. "I can't wait to take part in the history and tradition of the club."
"We are very happy to add Austin Hollins to the squad. This is a guard with a good character, a good friend of the players next to him in the locker room, an excellent guard, and a player who can play in several positions," the head coach of the team, Oded Kattash, said about the player.
After parting ways with Scottie Wilbekin, Maccabi have been active in the offseason market with recent signings of Alex Poythress, Bonzie Colson, and Darrun Hilliard.
In a season riddled with injuries, Hollins averaged 8.1 points and 1.9 rebounds for 5.4 PIR on 41% shooting.
Before joining Crvena Zvezda, the American guard played for Zenit Saint Petersburg, where he averaged 9 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 1.1 assists on 42.9% shooting during the two years spent with the club.
