Today, Balkan announced another new addition - 211 cm center Ulrich Chomche.
Ulrich Chomche has made a significant contribution to basketball history as the first NBA Academy Africa player to be selected in the NBA draft. In the summer of 2024, he was selected with the 57th pick by the Memphis Grizzlies, after which his rights immediately transferred to the Toronto Raptors.
Subsequently, the athletic player (wing/center) recorded averages of 8.0 points and 8.7 rebounds per game, playing in the G League for their satellite team Raptors 905, known among fans as the “raccoon farm”.
A young talent with a rare combination of athleticism and potential, Ulrich brings additional firepower with his “wing” just before Balkan’s historic debut in the BKT EuroCup
