BeoBasket’s biggest client is Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic but it also represents Dallas Mavericks big man Boban Marjanovic, Phoenix Suns forward Dario Saric, and Cleveland Cavaliers wingman Cedi Osman.
Other notable players signed with BeoBasket are Goga Bitadze of the Indiana Pacers, Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot of the Brooklyn Nets, Ivica Zubac of the Los Angeles Clippers, and 3×3 icon Dusan Bulut.
“I am extremely honored to be the first Filipino player in their roster. Wherever my journey takes me, I will always proudly represent the Philippines, especially our national team,” said Slaughter.
“I will forever be humbled by the opportunities basketball and its fans have given me.”
Slaughter has been without a contract since February and has been training in the United States for the time being.
A former Gilas program center, Slaughter helped the Gin Kings to four titles and was named the Best Player of the Conference in the 2017 Governors’ Cup.
