The Senegalese forward is about to be added to the roster of the EuroLeague champions<\/p>\n

By Aris Barkas\/ barkas@eurohoops.net<\/a><\/p>\n

Mbaye NDiaye (2.04, 27) is close to a deal with Olympiacos<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The defending EuroLeague champions will pay a 400.000 euros buyout to ASVEL, per Spanish journalist Chema De Lucas,<\/a>\u00a0while Eurohoops sources also confirm the move.<\/p>\n

The Greek club was in the market for a backup power forward after Alec Peters decided to leave the team for a more prominent role with Milan.<\/p>\n

NDiaye is a low-risk acquisition, averaging 6.3 ppg and 4.1 rpg in the EuroLeague with ASVEL. His game is totally different from Peters\u2019, who is one of the top shooting forwards in Europe.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, despite his height, NDiaye can also play in the center position, where Olympiacos<\/a> already has three top-level players in Nikola Milutinov, Tyrique Jones and Donta Hall.<\/p>\n

Last season, in 32 EuroLeague games, he averaged 7.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.2 steals, and 1.4 blocks per game, shooting an extraordinary 70% in two-pointers and just 18% in threes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"2026-08-12T18:21:22+00:00 2026-08-12T18:21:22+00:00 2026-08-12T18:44:30+00:00.
