Staying in the EuroLeague: Colin Malcolm signs two-year deal with Anadolu Efes
The American forward (29, 2.01 meters) has left Hapoel Tel Aviv after one season and will continue his career with the Turkish side, which aims to return to the top tier of European basketball.
Colin Malcolm has found a new team. Anadolu Efes officially announced today (Monday) the signing of the American forward, who left Hapoel Tel Aviv after one season and signed a two-year contract with the Turkish club.
Malcolm joined Hapoel Tel Aviv last summer and was part of the club's historic debut season in the EuroLeague. In the top European competition, he averaged 7.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 1.1 assists in 22 minutes per game.
In their farewell statement, Hapoel Tel Aviv highlighted his contribution to the successful European campaign. In the local league, Malcolm played 40 games, where he recorded averages of 6.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, and one assist per game, alongside 56.7 percent from two-point range and 41.7 percent from beyond the arc.
In the Israeli league, Malcolm also provided a significant contribution. In 12 games during the regular season, he scored 8.3 points on average, grabbed 4 rebounds, and dished out 1.1 assists per game, with 65.7 percent from two-point range and 30.3 percent from outside the arc.
For Malcolm, this is another move to a team with EuroLeague ambitions. Anadolu Efes hopes he will continue to demonstrate the versatility and defensive ability he showed in Israel, while Hapoel Tel Aviv continues building its roster ahead of its debut season in the top European competition.
