After a Malta Basketball report in August indicated the move, it is now confirmed that Harry Savaya-led Valletta BC will be joined by US import player Lorenzo Anderson.
6’3 guard Anderson is said to have signed with the club late in August with the news coming from his agent at ASG Sports. Now Malta Basketball can assure the move is 100% with the American player officially registered with the MBA ahead of the coming season.
The Georgia native joins the capital club after a season in Kazakhstan with BC Irbis where he was part of the team that won the League Cup.
Last season, Anderson averaged 17.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game in his rookie season as a professional basketball player.
He now joins a Valletta side looking to improve on last season’s Division One debut where they struggled to put up points on the standings during an experimental first campaign, winning their only game in the John Tabone Shield.
