Lampe (2.10 meters, 30 years old) arrives from FC Barcelona of Spain, where last season he averaged 6.2 points and 3.8 rebounds in 24 Turkish Airlines Euroleague games. Lampe grew up with the Real Madrid junior teams and has since played for several of Europe’s biggest clubs including Madrid, Barcelona and Caja Laboral Vitoria in Spain, Unics Kazan and Khimki Moscow Region in Russia and Maccabi Tel Aviv in Israel. He has also suited up for Phoenix, New Orleans and Houston in the NBA.
