It is official! Ryan Jamar Boatright has signed contract with Cedevita and he will join his new teammates today.

Considering the fact that a one-month contract of Pierre Jackson has expired and that the American player might return to USA where he will try to get himself a contract in the NBA, Cedevita did not wait for too long to sign another point guard.

He spent the college career at the famous Connecticut University. Afterwards, at the 2015 NBA Draft he was not picked, but he signed with the Brooklyn Nets, with which he played in the NBA Summer League and four games of the NBA Preseason. He got released by the Nets afterwards and moved to Detroit Pistons on a short period, to move to NBDL League team Grand Rapids Drive. Later that season he moved to Italy to play for Orlandina Basket.

In the 2016 NBA Summer League Ryan averaged 5.2 points, 1.6 rebounds and 2 assists in 14.4 minutes spent on court on average. He then moved to Chinese side Guangzhou Long-Lions.

Boatright should join the rest of Cedevita team for the evening practice and is expected to be in their squad already during the week, when they will face Lietkabelis in the Eurocup.

Ryan Jamar Boatright novi igrač Cedevite

S obzirom na današnji istek jednomjesečnog ugovora Pierre Jacksona i njegov vjerojatni odlazak u SAD gdje će pokušati osigurati NBA ugovor, Cedevita nije čekala i dovodi još jednog vrhunskog playmakera. To je Ryan Jamar Boatright.

On je sveučilišnu karijeru proveo na poznatom sveučilištu Connecticut. Na NBA draftu 2015. nije izabran, no potpisao je za Brooklyn Netse, s kojima je nastupao u Ljetnoj ligi i u četiri utakmice NBA predsezone. Netsi su ga potom otpustili, nakon čega je nakratko potpisao za Detroit Pistonse, a onda je preselio u NBDL ligu u momčad Grand Rapids Drive. U siječnju 2016. preselio je u najjaču talijansku ligu i potpisao za Orlandina Basket.

U Ljetnoj ligi 2016. je za New Orleans Pelicanse prosječno bilježio 5,2 poena, 1,6 skokova i 2 asistencije za 14,4 min. po utakmici, a u srpnju je potpisao za kineski Guangzhou Long-Lions.

Boatright bi nakon liječničkog pregleda trebao biti na večernjem treningu s momčadi kao i u rosteru Cedevite u srijedu na Eurokup utakmici kod Lietkabelisa u Litvi.
