“Lawson highly recommended… Fans will enjoy basketball.”
Sono officially announced on the 23rd, “We signed a contract with center Janelle Stokes, who played in the NBA and the Chinese Basketball Association.”
Sono, who previously recruited NBA center Alan Williams, further strengthened his under-the-goal power as Stokes joined.
Stokes represented the U.S. at the U.S. Under-19 World Championship in 2013, scoring 7.2 points and 4.6 rebounds per game, helping his team win the gold medal. When he was a student at the University of Tennessee, he reached the round of 16 at the NCAA Tournament with 15.1 points and 10.6 rebounds per game.
Stokes, who was recognized for his performance, made his professional debut with the Memphis Grizzlies after receiving the 35th pick in the second round of the 2014 NBA Rookie Draft, and played a total of 28 games for the Miami Heat and Denver Nuggets.
In 2016, he played in the NBA G League and won the regular league and final MVP after selecting the best five defensive players and all-stars.
Stokes then moved to the CBA, where he played for the Zhejiang Golden Bulls and the Xinjiang Flying Tigers, and briefly left the court for the film business to decide on Sono as his final destination.토토사이트
Coach Sono Kim Seung-ki said, “As a result of bringing him to Las Vegas, where the Summer League will be held, there was no gap in technique and ball handling,” adding, “I expect him to be a player who will be of great help not only in post-play but also in teamwork with guards if he recovers his previous skills.”
Stokes said, “There was an active recommendation from Didrick Lawson, who grew up in the same neighborhood, and I was moved to give him faith and opportunity first,” adding, “I will play basketball with the team’s advance to the playoffs with good performance on the court.”
