REPORT: Ex-Taipan to join European giants

Former Cairns Taipans star Taran Armstrong has signed with KK Partizan, basketball.com.au is reporting.

Armstrong, who signed a two-way deal with the Golden State Warriors earlier this year, played 12 games with the team’s G League affiliate, Santa Cruz Warriors. He averaged 11.5 points, 5.8 rebounds and 7.9 assists a game.

While Golden State would retain Armstrong’s NBA rights, a move to the Euroleague team could open up more opportunities playing at a higher level.

In his most recent Hungry Jack’s NBL Season, the 23-year-old guard averaged 17.1 points, 4.7 assists and 4.6 rebounds a game.

Basketball.com.au reports the deal will be finalised in the coming days.
