Jonathan Wallace stays in Tuebingen

Jonathan Wallace (187 cm, Georgetown’08) has been retained by the Walter Tigers Tuebingen from Germany’s BBL for the 2014/2015 season. The point guard has been in good form wearing the Tigers jersey all season and he has collected averages of 14.6 points, 3.1 assists, and 1.9 rebounds per game from 27 appearances. During his season with the club, the American was part of a disappointing campaign where the team finished second from last in the BBL with a losing 10-24 record.

During the 2012/2013 season Jonathan Wallace played for Belfius Mons-Hainaut from Belgium’s Ethias league. In the Ethias League he played 35 games and picked up 10.1 points per game, while in the Eurochallenge he logged 13.5 points and 3.5 assists per game. Wallace will now play another season in Germany and Tuebingen head coach Igor Perovic stressed how pleased he is the 28-year old has been retained.

Wallace is one of the best free throw and distance shooters in the league. It is always important to have such an important quality player on the roster. He will also have an important role in the new season. We are set up well at the small positions. I am very happy that he once again decided to be in Tuebingen.
