“There is a very serious interest from the NBA for Nigel Hayes-Davis and Tarik Biberovic. I hope they will continue with us but if they say: ‘I want to try in the NBA’, we will not block them. »»
Derya Yannier, the General Manager of Fenerbahce, therefore does not know if he will be able to keep his two wingers next season. It must be said that at 30 years old, the first may well have a new chance in the NBA, after having failed to make a place in 2017/18 (Lakers, Raptors, Kings) and then to have exploded in Europe.
Passed by Galatasaray, Zalgiris Kaunas, Barcelona and now Fenerbahce, the former training partner of Team USA last summer confirmed his status as an elite player in Europe, being still chosen in the All-Eeuroleague First Team this season, with 16.8 points on average at 51% of success including 41% at 3-point.

Recall that Nigel Hayes-Davis is also, with 50 points, the record holder of points in the history of the Euroleague.
Last year, he interested several NBA franchises, including the Suns, but he had decided to extend to Fenerbache, for a contract of $ 6.6 million over three years, until 2027. But he probably has a clause allowing him to join the big league in the event of an overly attractive offer.
For his part, Pull Biberovic (2m01, 24 years old) is in a slightly different situation since his rights belong to the grizzleas, who drafted her in 56th position during the 2023 vintage. Among the best shooters of Euroligue, he turns this season at 10.5 points on average, to 44% of far success.
