Partizan Eyes EuroLeague Star: Is a Big Name Heading to the Black-and-Whites?!

The power forward position has been a significant problem for Partizan over the last two seasons, and the black-and-whites are looking to solve it by signing Jalen Hord (25, 204cm) from Maccabi.

That's according to Israeli journalist Arel Ginsber, who claims the French international is among Partizan's targets for the upcoming season.

Since Zach LeDay's departure, the black-and-whites have struggled significantly at the power forward position. Last season, Isaiah Mike was their only option there, and last summer, it seemed they had solidified the power forward spot for the next two years with the transfer of Jabari Parker. However, the former fourth overall NBA draft pick proved to be a massive disappointment and will finish the season on loan at Joventut.

It's clear that Partizan isn't counting on Parker for next season and will work to offload his hefty contract over the summer. The Israeli journalist suggests the Belgrade team will try to rectify this season's misstep by bringing in Hord.

Hord has played for Maccabi for the past two seasons, averaging 11.9 points and seven rebounds in the EuroLeague this current season.

Hord also has NBA experience, having played for Portland and Oklahoma.
