Prokom adds Ewing, Nesovic at point
|
Polish champ Asseco Prokom Sopot has hired a pair of new point guards in a matter of days. Daniel Ewing (191, 25) arrives from Khimki of Moscow, where he was the team's second-best scorer in ULEB Cup play last season. Khimki was the runner-up to Euroleague champion CSKA for the Russian League title, too. In his European debut last season, Ewing averaged 12.1 points in ULEB Cup play for Khimki, which lost in the second elimination round to eventual champions DKV Joventut. Previous to Khimki, Ewing had averaged 3.4 points, 1.4 assists and 13.3 minutes in a total of 127 regular-season NBA games over two seasons with the Los Angeles Clippers. As a collegian at Duke University, Ewing was named the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament MVP during his sophomore year and was an All-ACC Tournament First Team selection the following two seasons. He was named team captain in his final two seasons and was a starter as the squad reached the NCAA Final Four in 2004. Prokom had previously announced the addition of point guard Aleksej Nesovic (189, 23), who split last season between AEO Olimpias of Greece and Fuenlabrada of Spain, where he played 7 games averaging 4.3 points and 1.3 assists. Nesovic started his career in 2003 with Red Star of Serbia and he stayed there until the end of the 2005-06 season after also having been sent on loan to Egronom Best Nis during the 2004-05 season. In 2005 he moved to Germany to play with EnBW Ludwigsburg. After that, he played in Croatia with KK Zagreb, but in December of 2006 he moved to KK Hemofarm to play 4 games in the ULEB Cup, where he averaged 8 points and 4.5 assists per game. At the end of the 2006-07 season, he moved to Spain to play with Fuenlabrada.
