As usual, the Shanghai Sharks are offering former NBAers, and they have just formalized the arrivals of Noah Vonleh and Yogi Ferrell. Aged only 27, Vonleh started the season at the Celtics, before being transferred to Spurs, who did not keep him.
The former Hornets and Blazers player returns to China with more than 360 NBA games on his resume, so it’s a comeback for him sincehe played for the Sharks in 2021/22. There was shot at 14.4 pts, 9.2 rbds and 1.3 ct average. Stats that allowed him to be selected in the second best five of the season.
For his part, Ferrell had been playing for two years at Olimpia Ljubljana, which plays in the Eurocup. Like Vonleh, this playmaker had quite a bit of experience in the NBA with stints with the Nets, Mavericks, Kings, Cavaliers and Clippers. Last season, he averaged 18.4 points, 2.3 rebounds and 5.1 assists in the EuroCup, and he will replace Eric Bledsoe.
As the Sharks have become accustomed to playing preseason matches in the United States, we should see them at work in October against NBA teams.
