Cholet Basket announced the signing of American center Jamuni McNeace (28 years old) this Tuesday in a press release. The pivot arrives from PAOK Salonika in Greece, where he discovered the Champions League (BCL), compiling an average of 10 points, 6.2 rebounds and 14.2 evaluation in the European competition.
McNeace has been crisscrossing Europe since leaving university, where he notably shared the ball with Trae Young for a year in Oklahoma. Since then, the interior has spent time in Finland, Germany, Italy and the Turkish second division before finally arriving in Greece, at PAOK. He will bring his experience acquired last season to help Cholet get through the preliminary round of the BCL, and perhaps make a run in the tournament.
“I am very happy with the signing of Jamuni (McNeace), he is a vertical player capable of quickly projecting himself into the transition game, complementary to Bastien (Vautier), with experience in European competitions. He was very enthusiastic about the idea of joining our club and the way we offered him. We have a very interesting position 5 duo,” reacted Cholet coach Fabrice Lefrançois.
