James Penn and Pini Gershon - OlympiacosOlympiacos has reached back into its recent past to add depth and experience to its backcourt by signing guard James "Scoonie" Penn for the remainder of the season. Penn (180, 33) started the current season with Virtus Bologna and returns to Piraeus after three years to replace Von Wafer, who was released three weeks ago.
