BEIJING, Aug. 15 (Xinhua) -- Beijing Begcl Basketball Club on Thursday announced the signings of former NBA guard Kyle Fogg, ex-NCAA center Angel Delgado and Palestine forward Sani Sakakini.

Fogg, who had a short spell with NBA's Houston Rockets in 2012 before joining the Denver Nuggets the following year, moves from fellow Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) team Guangzhou Long Lions, where he averaged 34.4 points, 8.4 rebounds, 7.6 assists and 2.1 steals after 45 games in the 2018-2019 season.

In a CBA regular-season match earlier this year, Fogg scored 60 points to help Guangzhou defeat Fujian, beating his own record in the Chinese league.

The 29-year-old played in the G-League for a long time after his brief stay in the two NBA sides, and also served several European teams before joining the Guangzhou club during the 2017-2018 season.

Sakakini also joined Stephon Marbury's Beijing Begcl from Guangzhou, with the Palestine international having played for Qingdao in the 2011-2012 season, Jiangsu Tongxi in 2015-2016 and Tianjin in 2016-2017.

Delgado was voted Best Rookie of last season's G-League, as the 2.06-meter center's best stats came in a 112-94 victory for the LA Clippers over Oklahoma City Blue, as he grabbed a league-record 31 rebounds.
