Budućnost Voli potpisala Makundua

Jedan od najperspektivnijih francuskih košarkaša, Joan Makundu, novi je član Budućnost Voli-a.

Riječ je o dvadesettrogodišnjem momku koji je visok 207 cm, a pokriva pozicije četiri i pet.

Od kada je pristupio kao dječak Šoleovoj košarkaškoj akademiji, skrenuo je pažnju na sebe.

Pomogao je klubu da osvoji dvije titule prvaka Francuske za mlađe kategorije.

Prelaskom u seniorski tim nastavio je da pruža sjajne partije, a 2021. godine dobija priznanje za najboljeg mladog igrača FIBA Lige šampiona, gdje je bilježio 10 poena i 5 skokova po meču.

Potencijal i talenat nije mogao da promakne Monaku, pa je to i postala njegova sljedeća destinacija.

Iako je na svojoj poziciji u ekipi Saše Obradovića imao veliku konkurenciju, uspijevao je da se izbori za svoje minute i da iskoristi svaku priliku.

Riječ je o momku kojeg prije svega krasi atleticizam, brzina, skok a posjeduje i šut sa poludistance i distance.
