SPAIN: “FC Barcelona found a cornerstone by signing two-year contract with center Tibor Pleiss, who arrives from Laboral Kutxa Vitoria. The German center comes off the best season of his career, in which he got better and better as time progressed. Pleiss (2.13 meters, 24 years old) averaged 12 points on 55.7% shooting plus 5.4 rebounds and 1 block over 24 Turkish Airlines Euroleague games. He truly flourished later in the season, with his numbers rising into the Top 16. Over the final five games of the Euroleague season, Pleiss was worth 17.4 points on 58.5% shooting, 7.6 rebounds and 1 block.”
