James Bell signs with Darüşşafaka S.K. in Turkey

Former Villanova Wildcats star James Bell has signed a new contract in Europe. His new club Darüu015fu015fafaka Basket announced the signing on Twitter.

That roughly translates to, “We signed a one-year deal with the 1992 American-born attacker James Bell.”

Darüu015fu015fafaka plays in the Basketbol Süper Ligi which is the top league in Turkey. They also compete in the EuroLeague and the Turkish Cup. Darüu015fu015fafaka finished 4th in the league last season, while progressing to the quarterfinals of both the domestic cup and the EuroLeague.

Bell joins a good roster that includes former collegiate players Scottie Wilbekin, Brad Wanamaker, JaJuan Johnson and James Anderson and should step into a major role on the team.
