Enok Boaki - novi centar SC Derby-ja

Košarkaši SC Derby-ja dobili su pojačanje pod obručem - u Podgoricu stiže kanadski centar Enok Boaki.

Riječ je o mladom igraču, koji u "Studente" dolazi iz redova jednog od najbljih košarkaških NCAA programa - Vilanove.

Rođen je u Bramptonu, Ontario (2003. godine), Boaki (211 cm visok, oko 112 kg) prepoznat je po svojoj fizičkoj dominaciji, dugom rasponu ruku i sposobnosti da kontroliše skokove na obije strane terena.

Na univerzitetskom nivou izgradio je reputaciju pouzdanog skakača, čvrstog defanzivca i igrača koji vrlo efikasno završava akcije blizu koša.

Prošle sezone na Viljanovi odigrao je svih 36 utakmica i bilježio u prosjeku 4,4 poena, 6,4 skoka i 0,7 blokada za 22,9 minuta na parketu. Posebno impresivan bio je procenat šuta iz igre – 65,9 odsto – kao i stabilno izvođenje slobodnih bacanja (74,6%). Sezonu je zaključio partijom sa dabl-dabl učinkom (11 poena, 11 skokova) protiv UCF-a.

Boaki u SC Derby donosi profil centra - visokog, snažnog i pokretnog igrača, koji može da preuzme veliki dio posla u zaštiti reketa, da napadne ofanzivni skok i iskoristi prilike iz pick-and-rolla.
