BC Khimki signed a two-year deal with American guard Mike Green. Last season Green played in Italy in Pallacanestro Varese.
Pavel Astakhov, BC Khimki General Manager:
— One of our priorities in this off-season was finding a new point guard. After reviewing several candidates for this position, our choice was Mike Green. He had a good season in Italy, being Varese's leader. Hopefully, in BC Khimki Mike will be able to showcase his skills and help the team to achieve its goals.
