ФІБА включила Іссуфа Санона у ТОП-5 потенційних відкриттів

Issuf Sanon, a player of "Prometey" and the National team of Ukraine, was included in the list of five young basketball players who can become a discovery of the fourth qualification window for the 2023 World Cup.


As a reminder, Ukrainians will host Italy on August 24 at the Riga Arena; and will play in Iceland on August 27.


"Sanon took part in four of the six matches of the Ukrainian national team in the qualification for the 2023 World Cup and averaged 5.5 points, 1.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game," the official FIBA website writes about our player. – “But the 22-year-old basketball player had only 17 minutes of playing time and had some troubles with shooting, making only 32% of his goal attempts from the game and 18.2% of his three-pointers. In the previous season, Sanon played for Dnipro, where he had 13.3 points, 2.7 rebounds and 3.2 assists. Then he moved to the Lithuanian "Šiauliai". There, the athletic guard brought the team 11.4 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists. And now he eagers to take the next step with the National team."


Issufu's company in the top five consisted of the German Franz Wagner from “Orlando”, who on Friday scored 26 points in the basket of Ronen Ginzburg’s Czech National team, the Georgian Sandro Mamukelashvili from “Milwaukee”, the Lithuanian point guard of “Barcelona” Rokas Jokubaitis, drafted in 2021 by "New York", and the Estonian Kerr Kriisa from the University of Arizona, who will play against our National team on September 3 at EuroBasket.
