Bnei Hasharon's leading Power Forward, Lee Nailon, is close to signing a one year contract with South Korean's KCC Egis for next years 2011/12 season. KCC who will begin this week their battle for the S. Korean league crown, is already thinking about next season as the league's rules are expected to change and minimize the amount of American players per team from two to just one. The organizations manager and coaching staff have shown great interest in Nailon throughout this season, as they tried to recruit the American star several times.
Nailon, who is averaging 17.9 ppg, 4.7 rpg and 3.2 apg in 24 games this season, hasn't dropped below double digits in scoring once this year, and has appeared to accept the Korean teams offer estimated at 450,000$. KCC representatives who flew out to Israel this past week to watch the 7 year NBA veteran, saw him score 20 points on 7/13 from the field and 6/6 from the line in 28 minutes despite his teams lose.
