VITALIS CHIKOKO

Levallois Metropolitans (Jeep ELITE ProA) landed 28-year old Zimbabwean ex-international power forward Vitalis Chikoko (208-91). He is the second foreign player in the roster as USA Rob Gray signed here earlier.
Pau-Lacq-Orthez. In 36 Jeep ELITE ProA games in France he averaged impressive 15.1ppg, 7.8rpg, 1.8apg and 1.2bpg last season. It was a very successful year in his career as he was selected to French ProA All-Star Game and League Player of the Week (2 times).
Chikoko has tried to make it to the NBA and played in the NBA Pro Summer League in 2013.
Among other achievements his team made it to the German Bundesliga Semifinals in 2016. Chikoko received also Eurobasket.com German Bundesliga All-Defensive Team award back in 2015.
He represented Zimbabwe at the Afrobasket Championships in Rades (Tunisia) four years ago. His stats at that event were 5 games: 13.4ppg, Reb-4 (8.8rpg), 1.2apg, Blocks-1 (3.2bpg), FGP: 48.8%, 3PT: 20.0%, FT: 64.7%.
Chikoko has played previously professionally in Italy (Grissin Bon RE and Tezenis Verona) and Germany (Gladiators, BG Goettingen, Bayern Muenchen and ASC 46 Goettingen).
Let's have closer look into His outlook: A talented, lanky forward/center who has a huge upside. Even stanging almost 6-10, he can spend yet time at the PF position, thanks to enormous athletic skills, versatility, and good feel for the game. His long arms allow him to be a good defender and shot blocker.
