Virtus Bologna close to Chris Douglas-Roberts

The small forward should be announced in the weekend

The two parts reached an agreement in principle and the small forward has just to sign the one-year contract without NBA out with the Italian team. Chris Douglas-Roberts was selected by New Jersey Nets with the 40th overall pick in the 2008 NBA draft and has played three seasons in the NBA averaging 7.7ppg, 2.2rpg and 1.3apg over 155 games.

In 2010-11 the small forward has played with Milwaukee Bucks scoring 7.3 points, grabbing 2 rebounds and dishing 1.1 assists in 44 games.

The official announcement is expected over the weekend.

Magari!!..oh lui qui per il livello del nostro campionato l'é bon bon..se non mi ricordo male un pò un solista, ma a talento non si discute.. Certo, Manu è sempre Manu, ma con il contrattino che si rimpasta, dubito fortemente un suo ritorno a Bologna..comunque, la speranza è sempre l'ultima a morire!!! Daié Sabba!!!
