His averages are 5.6 points, 2.6 rebounds, 0.7 assists in 15.7 minutes.

Andrey Vatutin, CSKA President:
For every NBA player, especially the young one, the first year in EuroLeague is traditionally difficult. Still Alec proved himself as a hard-worker, true professional, great teammate. He deserved to become a EuroLeague champion, a part of the amazing Army Men team, he became an integral part of the team and gave his 100 per cent. He definitely has potential to become a significant player in European basketball, he got invaluable experience with us that will lead him to the next level. We sincerely thank Alec for his contribution to CSKA victories and we wish him best of luck on the next stage of his career.
