He regularly brought the hall to life with his long-distance shots, and now Wes van Beck is leaving the Niners Chemnitz – and as a record holder.
Success arouses desire. The Niners Chemnitz are also feeling this after their outstanding season, including the European Cup title. After Kevin Yebo, Kaza Kajami-Keane, Dominic Lockhart, Ousman Krubally and Tylor Ongwae, Wes van Beck is another regular player leaving the club, as the Saxons announced on Thursday (July 4, 2024). It has been clear for some time that the signs point to a farewell.
The 28-year-old American joined the Niners last summer and was a consistent performer in a total of 62 competitive games, particularly with his three-point percentage of 43.2 percent. In total, the Texan scored 880 points, more than any Chemnitz player had ever scored in a single season.

“He undoubtedly played a major role in all of our successes last season and will not be easy to replace,” said Niners managing director Steffen Herhold, emphasizing the importance of the versatile shooting guard. It was not for nothing that a “number of lucrative offers from well-known clubs” poured in for van Beck, which the Niners could not keep up with financially. Now he is moving from the upcoming Champions League participant to southern Europe. Where exactly is not yet certain.
The sixth departure from last season’s core rotation is offset by four new additions. In addition to veteran Eddy Edigin, hopes are resting primarily on the talents Nicholas Tischler and Roman Bedime. Three more key players are to be signed over the next few weeks, including two guards and another promising player for the wing.
