Basketball Bundesliga club Syntainics MBC signs Jhonathan Dunn

Basketball Bundesliga club Syntainics MBC has signed the US-American Jhonathan Dunn. The club from Weißenfels made the announcement on Wednesday. The 25-year-old shooting guard, who is 1.93 meters tall, comes from Mexican champions Fuerza Regia Monterrey and has signed a contract until the end of the season. By signing the long-range shooting specialist from Texas, the MBC is responding to a weakness in the season so far: With 8.5 threes per game and a shooting percentage of 30.1 percent from beyond the 6.75-meter mark, the Wolves are bottom of the league.

Dunn is no stranger to the Bundesliga. He played for MHP Riesen Ludwigsburg, with whom he reached the semi-finals of the championship and cup as well as the intermediate round of the Champions League last season. With an average of 13.2 points in the two national competitions, he was the Swabians' second-best scorer, scoring well over half of his points with three-pointers.

After his time in Ludwigsburg, Jhonathan Dunn played for the Houston Rockets in the NBA Summer League and with Polish champions Wilki Morskie Szczecin in the Champions League. In December, he helped Mexican club Fuerza Regia Monterrey win the national championship in a short stint. He scored 14.9 points in five games and his three-point percentage there was as high as 43 per cent.
