Rayjon Tucker Outgoing? Virtus Eyes Damien Jefferson

The transfer market for Virtus Bologna is currently at a standstill, but there could be some developments in the coming weeks. The bianconeri need at least one departure to make room for reinforcements. At the top of the list of possible departures is Rayjon Tucker, a player who, after an impressive season with Umana Reyer Venezia, has failed to maintain his high standards in EuroLeague and Serie A.

According to reports from La Prealpina, Rayjon Tucker could leave the club in search of a new opportunity. Should this happen, Virtus Bologna has already set its sights on a potential replacement: Damien Jefferson, born in 1997, currently playing for Pinar Karsiyaka in Turkey.

Damien Jefferson: A Champions League Talent

Damien Jefferson is making a name for himself in Turkey with Pinar Karsiyaka. The 1997-born guard from East Chicago is averaging 10.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game in the Basketball Champions League and 10.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game in the Turkish league (Basketbol Süper Ligi). Over the course of his career, he has also played for the Basketball Club Oostende (Belgium) and for Stockton Kings and Memphis Hustle in the NBA G-League (USA).

Virtus Bologna seems highly interested in him, and Jefferson could be the right addition to strengthen the roster for coach Luca Banchi’s team. With the potential departure of Rayjon Tucker, signing Jefferson might be the ideal move to complete the bianconeri’s roster and better prepare for the second half of the season in EuroLeague.
