U-BT Cluj-Napoca added another weapon to its frontline by signing former EuroCup champion Kevin Hervey for the 2024-25 season. Hervey helped Virtus Segafredo Bologna lift the EuroCup in 2022. Last season Hervey (2.07 meters, 28 years old) played for Reggio Emilia in Italy and Hapoel Holon in Israel. He posted 15.7 points on 39.8% three-point shooting and 5.4 rebounds in 18 games in the Italian League and then went for 12.5 points on 38.2% three-point shooting, 4.9 boards and 1.5 steals in the Israeli League.
Hervey was the Sun Belt Conference player of the Year with the University of Texas at Arlington in 2017 before he was selected in the second round of the 2018 NBA Draft by the Oklahoma City Thunder. Hervey spent most of the next two seasons with the club’s G-League affiliate, the Oklahoma City Blue, though he appeared in 10 games for the Thunder.
He first came to Europe for the 2020-21 season with Lokomotiv Kuban Krasnodar. Hervey posted 12.4 points, 6.9 rebounds and 1.9 steals over 17 EuroCup games to help Lokomotiv reach the quarterfinals. The following season, he joined Virtus as a preseason replacement for the injured Ekpe Udoh and also suffered a midseason knee injury himself, but was back in time to help Virtus in the playoffs en route to lifting the crown. Now he returns for a third EuroCup season eager to help Cluj reach new heights.
