The Monbus
Obradoiro announced on Monday the signing of the Congolese pivot Viny
Okouo, who signed a contract for the next two seasons after leaving the Gipuzkoa
Basket.
In the Basque team last season he averaged 9.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, 0.3 blocks, 0.6 recoveries and 2.0 losses in 19.3 minutes (36 games) in the League
Endesa.
“With the signing of Viny we think mainly about the player that can become. It comes to the ideal place to develop and improve, not only in the technical aspect, and meanwhile provide the team with all the qualities that go hand in hand with its size ”, stated the general director of the Obradoiro, Jose Luis Matthew.
Okouo, 2.15 meters and 24 years old, signed in 2013 for the Unicaja, with which he debuted in the League
Endesa in the 2015-16 championship. With the Malaga team he played four seasons in the highest category of Spanish basketball and then made the leap to Panevezis Lithuanian, in which he played the 2019-20 season.
It is the third reinforcement of the team led by Moncho
Fernandez for the 2021-22 season, after the Argentine point guard Ferdinand
Zurbriggen (Sanitary Works) and the US base Braydon
Hobbs (Oldenburg).
