The Bosnian attacker, top scorer last season, signs until 2024
Basketball Real Madrid already has its first signings for next season. The Chamartín club announced the signing of Dzanan Musa on Thursday. The Bosnian attacker, the last MVP of the Endesa League, will sign until June 30, 2024 and will strengthen the perimeter of the current champion of the regularity tournament, which Chus Mateo will lead next year.
With a history in the NBA, playing 49 games in the ranks of the Brooklyn Nets over two seasons, Musa devoted last season to defending the Breogán River elastic, which he led on his return. to the Spanish elite. basketball with averages of 20.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.1 steals and a PIR of 23.1. Figures that helped him become the league’s top scorer and catapulted him to the regular season MVP.
Born on May 8, 1999 in Bihac (Bosnia-Herzegovina), Musa started his professional career at the age of 15 with Cedevita Zagreb and at 16 and 5 months he already played in the Euroleague. He was three times national champion, three more times in the cup and once in the Adriatic Supercup with the Balkan team. His brilliant appearance caught the attention of the Brooklyn Nets, who chose him in 29th position in the NBA draft. But the huge competition in the New York franchise prevented him from establishing himself in the best basketball league in the world, so in January 2021 he chose to return to Europe to join Anadolu Efes, taking him to the 2021 Euroleague and won the Turkish league. At the end of that season, he signed for the Breogán River, which he has finished exploiting.
Musa, a 2.05m striker with a spectacular scoring ability and superb technical means, registered a 56.1% success rate on two-point shots and 38.1% on three-pointers during his first season in the Endesa League, and he played in the two best individual performances of last season, with a PIR of 47 and 44. Numbers that made him the object of desire of some of the big teams on the continent, although in the end it was Real Madrid that took the cat to the water.
The Whites, still confused by the firing of Pablo Laso over the Vitorian’s heart problems, face another phase where Musa is called to play a prominent role. He is the first of a list of like-minded signings that also include the names of Spanish base Sergio Rodríguez and Croatian forward Mario Hezonja. These numbers aside, Real Madrid are still looking for a power forward with a good shot from the outside to make up for Trey Thompkins’ blemish and Anthony Randolph’s loss due to a long-term injury. The Frenchman Petr Cornelie, one of the stars of the G-League, is best placed. Though the crown jewel would be a hypothetical return of Argentinian Facundo Campazzo, whose future in the NBA remains unclear.
