Overview
- Manresa announced the signing of 24-year-old Colby Jones for the 2026-27 season, marking his first move to a European club according to the team statement reported by Eurohoops.
- Jones was a second-round pick in 2023 who has appeared in roughly 70 NBA games with Sacramento, Washington and Detroit and spent most of last season with the Memphis Hustle in the G League.
- U-BT Cluj-Napoca confirmed the addition of 27-year-old Kristian Kullamae from Lietkabelis, where he averaged 12.1 points, 2.9 assists and 1.1 steals in 18 EuroCup games.
- Neither club disclosed contract lengths or financial terms, and both players were described primarily as backcourt fits rather than being assigned specific roles in the announcements.
- Both signings reflect a wider pattern of young American players seeking larger roles and stability in Europe and of continental clubs valuing EuroCup, FIBA and national-team experience when reinforcing rosters.
