A last season star legionary is returning to BC "Prometey"! We are talking about the American guard DJ Kennedy. Thus, the team is almost completing the line-up for the new season.
DJ Kennedy averaged 13.4 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.3 assists per Champions League game. According to the results of the first round of the Champions League, he received a very high rating number. The organizers of the tournament highlighted the excellent performance of the Prometey guard in the second and third matches of the play-in round against Israel's Hapoel and his general ability to make offensive rebounds at crucial moments of the game.
The president of SC "Prometey" Volodymyr Dubynsky announced the new signing on his Facebook page:
“DJ Kennedy returns to “Prometey”!
Friends, good news, the well-known American defender DJ Kennedy will play for Ukraine, for our "Prometey" in the new season.
It was D.J. who was remembered by the fans for his bright game with "Prometey" in the Champions League and was included in the short list of contenders for the title of MVP.
With the beginning of a full-scale invasion of Russian inhumans, he had to finish the season in the Israeli “Hapoel Galil”. There he also managed to stand out with a stellar game. Together with DJ, the club became the winner of the Balkan Basketball League, beating “Maccabi Haifa”. And it was DJ who then became the most effective player of the match.
I am sure that DJ Kennedy will qualitatively strengthen our team in the new season.
So, we have only one intrigue left - the name of the last player of the team. I am sure that we will surprise you in the near future.
Glory to Ukraine!!! Glory to the Ukrainian Armed Forces!!!
Only Prometey! Only Victory!!!
Welcome back DJ!
