Actel Forca Lleida (LEB Gold) inked 26-year old Senegalese center Papa Mbaye (209-90) from FC Barcelona II. Mbaye has played there for the last three years. In 29 LEB Gold games in Spain he averaged 9.1ppg, 6.6rpg and 1.5bpg last season. A very good year in his career as he was selected to Eurobasket.com All-Spanish LEB Gold Honorable Mention.
