Bakken Bears pull off a stunt by signing Erik McCree.

Danish team Bakken Bears has pulled off a stunt by signing Erik McCree (203 cm, F). Why is this a stunt? Because McCree is a high-level player who has played in the G League, Italian Serie A, and the French Pro A and dominated everywhere. For example, last season Erik McCree averaged 15.1 ppg and 5.8 rpg for BCM Gravelines Dunkerque in the French Pro A, so he has a high market value. The Danish league is several levels below any other professional league Erik McCree has ever played in, so this is a very peculiar career move. The incentive is that Bakken Bears plays in the FIBA Championsleague, but that league is not to be confused with the Euroleague and doesn’t even match the Eurocup level.
