Buducnost is slowly putting together an increasingly strong team - a fourth reinforcement is arriving in Podgorica for the new season.

Skylar Mays is the new ABA League vice-champion.

As announced by the Podgorica club, the Louisiana-born guy comes from the NBA G League, where he wore the jersey of the Iowa Wolves - Minnesota's development team - at the end of last season.

Earlier last season, he also played in the Euroleague, as a member of the current European champion - Fenerbahçe.

"He is 191 cm tall, 27 years old and plays as a combo guard. He was selected by Atlanta in the 2020 NBA Draft, and in the strongest league in the world, he wore the jerseys of Portland and Los Angeles Lakers. He played a total of 105 games in the NBA, and he left his best impression in the Trail Blazers, where he averaged 15,3 points and 8,3 assists in six matches," added Buducnost.

They emphasized that he has a good shot, a high basketball IQ, and a solid rebound for a player who covers the outside positions.

"He began his career in the NCAA as a player for LSU University. At first, he was a point guard, and by his senior year, he became the leader of the team and the offense. Speaking of college – he was one of the best students, graduating from the kinesiology study program, so he also had a "backup plan" – to devote himself to medicine if his basketball career didn't go well," concluded Buducnost.

Before him, Buducnost also secured the signatures of point guard Oleksandr Kovliar, winger Aksel Butey and center Jerry Frank Butsijela for the new season.

In addition to the reinforcements, the "blue and white" extended the contracts of Yogi Ferrell and Juvne Morgan. McKinley Raj and Kenan Kamenjaš are no longer members of the Podgorica club as of this summer.
