Marcus Bingham is in advanced talks with KK Budućnost, according to Buzz Sport sources. The 24-year-old American center, currently with Hapoel Tel Aviv, is set to leave Israel amid war-related uncertainties, with Budućnost eyeing him as a replacement for Kenan Kamenjaš, who joined Dubai BC.
2024-25 Stats and Background
Bingham averaged 4.3 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks in 9:34 minutes per game across 9 EuroCup games in 2024-25, posting a 4.9 PIR. Previously linked to Virtus Bologna with Johnathan Motley, his move reflects a shift due to the Israeli situation.
Tactical Fit and Transfer Context
At 7’0”, Bingham’s shot-blocking and rebounding potential make him a strategic fit to bolster Budućnost’s frontcourt post-Kamenjaš. The advanced talks suggest urgency, likely driven by Hapoel’s roster adjustments and Budućnost’s need for a new center ahead of the 2025-26 season.
