Luigi Datmoe: Signs With Fenerbache
FFree Agent
July 14, 2015
Datome signed with the Turkish Euroleague team Fenerbahce on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Datome was traded from the Pistons to the Celtics last season and averaged 4.9 points and 1.4 rebounds over 10 minutes per game in 20 outings with Boston. This was just Datome's second season in the NBA, and given that he has not been able to find the court very much, the move to Europe makes sense. He will look to serve a larger role in Turkey now, where he will anticipate getting more use out of his skills on the wing.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2014
2013
Following his MVP stint in the Italian League, Datome brought his talents to this side of the pond when he signed with the Pistons prior to last season. His debut season was rather uneventful, as he was buried on the Pistons' bench for most of the year. The 26-year-old small forward finished the year with averages of 2.4 points and 1.4 rebounds in under seven minutes per game while making 34 appearances. Known as a three-point shooter, Datome struggled from deep, hitting just 18 percent of his three-point attempts. Despite the first-year difficulties, there's still some hope Datome will adjust to the NBA. He was injured for much of training camp last year, and once healthy, he wasn't given much of a chance by ex-coaches Maurice Cheeks or John Loyer at cracking the rotation. Enter new head coach Stan Van Gundy, who loves floor spacing and had success with Hedo Turkoglu, a player with a similar skill set to Datome. The coaching change and extra year of familiarity will certainly aid Datome in his chances at carving out a regular role in the Pistons' rotation, but his short-term ceiling is still that of a three-point category specialist in deep leagues.
Datome is one of the more intriguing imports to come from overseas this season. The 26-year-old swingman dominated the Italian league last year, taking home MVP honors while averaging 18.7 points (51.7 FG), 5.6 rebounds, 1.7 treys and 1.4 steals in 33 mpg. At 6-9, 220, Datome figures to slot in at small forward. While not as athletic as some of the NBA's premier options at the position, Datome is a lights-out shooter who could become one of the league's best deep threats immediately upon his arrival. His role as a backup will limit his fantasy impact some, but he may drain enough threes to warrant consideration in deeper formats.
