Sasu Salin of Union Olimija Ljubljana has been named Eurocup MVP for Regular Season Round 7.

Salin had 25 points, three rebounds, three assists and four steals in Union Olimpija's 86-48 win over Asvel Villeurbanne.

NBA D-League guard Quincy Douby has reached agreement on a one-year deal with the Shanghai Sharks of the Chinese Basketball Association, a source told RealGM.

Douby had been the No. 3 pick in the Development League’s draft, and he further cemented himself as a strong call-up candidate with a 20-points-per-game start to the Sioux Falls’ season.

With Shanghai, Douby significantly bolsters a scoring backcourt that lost Von Wafer for the year, teaming with Indiana Pacers camp invite Darnell Jackson at point guard. Shanghai is expected to go deep in the Chinese playoffs, a scenario that could prevent Douby from signing in the NBA late in its season.

After three seasons as a standout at Rutgers, Douby went 19th in the NBA Draft in 2006 to the Sacramento Kings and played two seasons with the organization. He signed a free agent deal with the Toronto Raptors in 2009, but was later released.

Douby, 29, has averages of 4.1 points and one rebound while shooting 31.2 percent from three-point range over three NBA seasons. The 6-foot-3 sharpshooter closed the 2012-13 season with Zhejiang.

Vladimir Dragicevic led Stelmet Zielona Gora to its first ever Euroleague road win and collected MVP honors for Regular Season Round 6.

Zielona Gora defeated Bayern Munich 71-78 as Dragicevic collected 19 points, while shooting 7-for-11 for two points with 11 rebounds. Dragicevic also had two steals, two blocks, one assist and drew six fouls in amassing a performance index rating of 32, which was the best of the week, establishing him as one of the breakout performers of the season.

Free agent center Chris Johnson has signed a one-year contract with Zhejiang Guangsha Lions of the Chinese Basketball Association, a source told RealGM.

A final release of the Minnesota Timberwolves in training camp, Johnson had been scouring offers overseas, ultimately reaching terms late Saturday morning. The shortened season in China gives Johnson an opportunity to return to the NBA in February or March, when teams seek to fortify their depth.

Johnson averaged 3.9 points and two rebounds in 30 games with the Timberwolves a season ago, and the 6-foot-11 big man proved himself under two 10-day contracts before earning a guaranteed deal.

Johnson, 28, went unselected in the 2009 NBA draft, playing three NBA seasons with Portland, Boston, New Orleans and Minnesota. He’s also spent part of his professional career overseas (Turkey, Poland) and in the D-League (Dakota, Santa Cruz).

David Pick of Eurobasket.com first reported that Johnson was signing with Zhejiang.

Vladimir Golubovic of Aykon TED Ankara Kolejliler has been named Eurocup MVP for Round 6 of the Regular Season.

Golubovic led his team to a valuable road win at Khimik Yuzhne by a 81-79 margin with 22 points, 17 rebounds, 2 blocks and 9 drawn fouls.

Leandro Barbosa will sign with Club Pinheiros in Brazil, according to sources.

The deal has an out that will allow Barbosa to return to the NBA if a deal is reached.

Barbosa tore his ACL last February and playing in Brazil will help the recovery process.

Zalgiris Kaunas point guard Justin Dentmon has been named Euroleague MVP for Week 5 of the regular season.

In a 91-81 decision over visiting Brose Baskets, Dentmon had 24 points and nine assists.

Dentmon shot 6-for-6 from three-point range.

Free agent guard Josh Akognon has reached agreement on a substantial one-year contract with Qingdao Eagles of the Chinese Basketball Association, sources told RealGM.

Akognon will make significantly more money with Qingdao than if he had signed with one of the several NBA teams that showed recent interest.

With Qingdao, Akognon’s season will be complete and have him available to NBA teams by early February. Three NBA teams had been interested in him and would be more inclined to sign him near the trade deadline, a source said.

For Akognon, the lucrative deal and the shortened season keep him in position to play in the NBA this season.

Akognon played three games with the Dallas Mavericks last season, and he led the organization’s summer league team in July for the second straight year, averaging nearly 18 points on 39.1 percent three-point shooting. The Memphis Grizzlies unexpectedly released him on Oct. 6.

Regarded as a knockdown shooter and strong ball handler, Akognon went undrafted in the 2008 NBA draft, carving an impressive professional career overseas. He played parts of the last two seasons with Dongguan and Liaoning in China.

Lior Eliyahu has signed a three-year deal with Hapoel Jerusalem.

Eliyahu's deal is for $1.05 million with a $50,000 title bonus. Eliyahu also has an out clause each summer.

The Minnesota Timberwolves own the NBA rights to Eliyahu.

Free agent Sam Young has signed a contract with the Sydney Kings of the National Basketball League in a deal that contains an NBA escape clause, agent Joel Bell told RealGM.

“Sam had other options, but this one made the most sense and will pay him as the highest player in the league,” Bell said.

Young can opt out of his deal up until the start of Sydney’s playoffs to join an NBA team, a significant provision that swayed the 28-year-old’s decision.

Young had a reserve role for the Indiana Pacers a season ago, averaging 2.8 points and 2.2 rebounds and serving as a defensive stopper against explosive wing players. He signed with the San Antonio Spurs before training camp, but was waived early in preseason.

With Sydney, Young will play under successful Australian coach Shane Heal. A former NBA player with the Minnesota Timberwolves and Spurs, Heal is also a shooting coach expected to aid in improving Young’s outside jumper.

Young, a 6-foot-6 swingman, has also played with the Memphis Grizzlies and Philadelphia 76ers over his four NBA seasons.
