“Maurice is exactly what we were looking for to complete our team for the upcoming season. He’s a versatile player who can cover both power forward and center positions. His size and versatility will contribute significantly on both ends of the court. He’s dedicated, hungry, and ready to make a maximum contribution to the team. He brings rich experience at the highest level,” highlighted Aleksandar Djikic, the team’s coach.
