Tours sign a second foreign player

Union Tours Metropole Basket (ProB) tabbed 28-year old Central African international 203cm power forward Johan Grebongo for new season. Grebongo is the second foreign player in the roster as Congolese Rigo Edzata signed here earlier.
He has played for the last six years at Mulhouse Basket Agglomeration in the NM1. In 43 games he averaged 8.9ppg, 5.4rpg and 1.4apg last season. He helped them to make it to the French NM1 Play-Offs final.
He also represented Central Africa at the Afrobasket Championship five years ago. His stats at that event were 3 games: 10.7ppg, 4.3rpg, 1.0apg, FGP: 45.8%, 3PT: 33.3%, FT: 38.9%.
Grebongo has played previously professionally in Central Africa (Mazanga and Red Star).
Let's have closer look into Grebongo's outlook: A young forward who shows enormous personality for a player of his age. He keeps working hard and improves. Huge upside, even at professional level.
