Statement by James Laughlin, GM of Napoli Basket:
“El-Amin is the ideal profile, both as a player and as a person, for our new project of Napoli Basket. As a player, Ish has proven experience both as a scorer and as a playmaker. We believe he can still improve his basketball and this, for him, is a great opportunity to take another step forward in his career. As a person he is a leader in both private life and the team. Ish is a strong, very solid and loyal player. This is what we want for our team and we are excited to welcome him into the Napoli Basket family.”
