Shane Gibson, 188 cm tall player can cover both point guard and guard position and he used to play for Telekom Bonn and AEK Larnaca last season.

As he signed with the Zagreb side, coach Ivan Velić told: “He is a quality player, that can help us. We have got really good recommendations and I hope that he fits well into Cibona’s system and that he becomes the type of reinforcement that I expect him to be. I have heard lots about him, only positive things and I believe that a brilliant player will be joining us.”

In 2013 he was not selected at the NBA Draft, even though he participated in the NBA Summer League for the Sacramento Kings. Afterwards he spent one season in the D League for Idaho Stampede and before coming to Telekom Bonn, he spent a season at Basket Recanati, Canadian Halifax Hurricanes, Bulgarian Beroe and Cypriot AEC Larnaca.
