Tyler Cavanaugh, who spent the past two seasons with Zalgiris Kaunas, has joined Bahcesehir's roster ahead of the next campaign.
Turkish side Bahcesehir College has strengthened its roster with a former EuroLeague player, following the signings of Tony Taylor, Axel Bouteille, Egemen Guven and Arca Tuluoglu.
Tyler Cavanaugh
| Position: | PF |
| Age: | 29 |
| Height: | 206 cm |
| Weight: | 104 kg |
| Birth place: | New York, United States of America |
Tyler Cavanaugh, who played two years for Zalgiris Kaunas, has been the latest addition.
The 29-year-old forward averaged 5.9 points, 4.3 rebounds and 6 in PIR over 14 games with Zalgiris Kaunas in the EuroLeague last season, while producing 7.2 points, 3.2 rebounds over 13 games in the Lithuanian League.
Bahcesehir is a club that makes interesting, high-profile signings every summer. The squad featuring Jamar Smith, Jamal Jones, Tarik Black and Sam Dekker won the 2022 FIBA Europe Cup title. However, the BSL side didn't manage to make its presence felt in the BCL the following season, when they were eliminated in the TOP 16.
With Bouteille and Taylor coming off a great season with Turk Telekom and Cavanaugh aspiring to return to the top level, as he did back in 2021 after spending one year with Tenerife, Bahcesehir are projected as one of the favorites to win the 2024 FIBA Europe Cup title as well.
