EuroLeague team and Greek powerhouse Olympiacos contracted Paul for the 2019-2020 season and following his time there he returned to the United States awaiting the right opportunity.
Brandon Paul is looking forward to joining his new teammates and taking on the challenge ahead.
"I'm looking forward to the opportunity and to contributing every way I can with the 36ers. I know quite a few players across the NBL and have heard great things about the league, so I cannot wait to get there and be part of it. Things moved quickly because the fit for myself and the 36ers feels right", Paul said today from his home in Chicago.
General Manager of Basketball, Jeff Van Groningen, said, "Brandon Paul is an elite level athlete with strengths on both sides of the ball that will improve our team. His scoring ability and athleticism on the open floor will resonate with his teammates and our fans. He has considerable international experience, having spent time in the NBA, Euroleague, Asia, and the NBA G-League, and from that he's drawn an understanding of the game that we believe will assist him in making a smooth transition to this strong NBL competition".
With the completion of immigration and travel arrangements required prior to today's announcement, Paul is expected to arrive in late February and the club will announce the date of his first game in due course.
