Ibon Navarro: Pressure is what a person feels when they have to provide for their family
Although several EuroLeague teams showed serious interest in the 33-year-old former Valencia player, Crvena Zvezda was the most concrete in its pursuit and ultimately won the race for his signature.
Chris Jones arrives after a very successful season with Hapoel Tel Aviv, where he was one of the key players in the club’s historic playoff run.
In the Israeli team, he averaged 10 points and 4.2 assists, confirming his role as a reliable playmaker.
Throughout his career, he has also played for Asvel, Maccabi Tel Aviv, and Turkish side Bursa, gaining valuable EuroLeague experience.
With his arrival in Belgrade, Chris Jones will be available to new head coach Ibon Navarro, who sees him as an important part of the roster for the upcoming season and the system that Crvena Zvezda aims to build.

It remains to be seen how Ibon Navarro will complete his roster for the upcoming season, as the new head coach will surely have his own ideas about certain players who have been linked with departures. At the same time, it is clear that Crvena Zvezda will be active on the transfer market, and we will see how everything develops.
