Hamburg Towers sign U20 European champion Zacharie Perrin!
The Hamburg Towers are setting a new tone in the Basketball Bundesliga because they have signed the French talent Zacharie Perrin. The 20-year-old, who stands an impressive 2.08 meters tall, is no stranger to the European stage. In 2024 he became European champion with France's U20 team and was honored with the award for the best player of the tournament. These achievements suggest that Perrin has a promising career path ahead of him and Towers sporting director Marvin Willoughby describes him as one of the most exciting talents European basketball has to offer. Boyens Medien reports that the contract with the Hamburg Towers extends until 2027.
Perrin comes from SLUC Nancy, where he previously demonstrated his skills in the French first division. This signing could be a real coup for the Towers, who are banking on the player's strong development in the coming year. After all, it not only means reinforcement for the team, but also long-term prospects for the young team.
The talent's profile
Zacharie Perrin is one of the brightest hopes in European basketball. At the age of 20, he falls into the category of rising stars. The basketball landscape in Europe is enjoying a great upswing, as the classification of youth basketball expert Ignacio Rissotto shows. FIBA highlights numerous talents who have a bright future ahead of them in their analysis of “20 Under 20”. And Perrin could certainly be seen in this squad.
As the list shows, there are plenty of players in Europe who challenge talents like Perrin. Only in recent years have players like Victor Wembanyama, who was selected with the first pick in the 2023 NBA draft, distinguished themselves among the best young stars. Strong talent development in the European leagues could give Perrin's career a boost as more talent finds its way to the North American league.
The Hamburg Towers have clearly shown a good hand here and are betting on the future: Zacharie Perrin could not only strengthen the team, but also become a figurehead for the Towers and their ambitions. Fans can hope for an exciting time, as the mix of international talent and local know-how could prove to be the key to further success.
