After posting excellent performances in the Israeli Winner League with the Hapoel Galil Gilboa, Jehyve Floyd will continue his career with Panathinaikos for the next two years (1+1 contract formula).

The 24-year-old center has a verbal agreement with the club, which will very soon translate into an official deal. Floyd is familiar with Greece, as he played there for a short time during the last two seasons. It was with Larissa, where he registered some impressive shot-blocking abilities, but couldn't fight his way through Promitheas Patras roster a few months later.

As a result, the American big moved to Israel and singed with Hapoel Gilboa Galil, where he reached the Winner League finals. Gilboa eventually fell to Maccabi Tel Aviv, but Floyd had several good performances, averaging 11.4 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.7 blocks per game in the Israeli league. He was also extremely impactful, shooting on a great 72,4% from the field.In addition, following the signings of Nemanja Nedovic and Kendrick Perry, coach Dimitris Priftis chose Daryl Macon as the player capable of bolstering the backcourt. The American combo guard turned heads in Greece with AEK Athens last year, averaging 18.2 points in 19 Basket League games, plus 3.7 assists and 2.1 rebounds, shooting 64% on two-pointers, 46% on three-pointers, and 90% on free throws. The two sides are in advanced talks and it's a matter of time for the 25-year-old to make his EuroLeague debut.
