Olympiacos keeps Law

Reigning Turkish Airlines Euroleague champion Olympiacos BC Piraeus kept building its roster for the upcoming season by re-signing point guard Acie Law for an extra year, the club announced Saturday. Law (1.90 meters, 27 years old) arrived to Olympiacos before the start of the Top 16, averaging 5.5 points in 12 games with the Reds last season. He boosted his numbers up to 9.3 points, 2.8 rebounds and 4.5 assists in the playoffs series against Montepaschi Siena, which allowed Olympiacos to make it to the Final Four and eventually win the Euroleague title. Law also helped Olympiacos to win the Greek League last season. He started the 2011-12 season with Partizan mt:s Belgrade, averaging 12.7 points, 3.4 assists and 1.2 steals in the Euroleague regular season. Law previously played a total of 180 NBA games over four seasons with Atlanta, Golden State, Charlotte, Chicago and Memphis. He enjoyed a standout college basketball career at Texas A&M University, graduating as the Aggies’ all-time third leading scorer (1,669 points) and also ranked third in assists (545). Law now faces arguably the biggest challenge of his career – trying to help Olympiacos to defend the Euroleague title.
