The first player from the United States who join GTK is Riley LaChance. The 22 year old player graduated from one of the most prestigious universities at Vanderbilt University. - I've heard a lot of very good reviews about the team. The club is run in a professional manner and I found it a great place to start a professional career - admitted LaChance.
A player appearing in a point guard or shooting guard position was born in Brookfield. He graduated from high school in his hometown and then moved to Vanderbilt University. LaChance played a lot during all four years spent at this university, and it is also worth noting that Commodores are present in one of the stronger academic divisions and compete, among others, with teams: Kentucky Wildcats, Florida Gators or Tennesse Volunteers. In the last year of play at the university, our new player recorded on average: 14.1 points, 3.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 0.5 steals within 32 minutes of play.
After finishing university, he decided to continue his career in Europe. The choice fell on Poland and GTK Gliwice. - I've heard a lot of very good reviews about the team. The club is run in a professional manner and I found it a great place to start a professional career - admitted LaChance. - I talked with Quinton Hooker and I am aware that the Polish league is difficult and demanding - adds the 188 cm player. In the case of Hooker it took a while before the player adapted to a completely different style. However, it was worth waiting, because later it belonged to the best players of the entire league. How will it be with Lachance? - I will try to help as soon as I can. I believe that I will manage on both peripheral positions and I will look effective. I want to play as a team and make GTK a very good season - announces an American.
- I think that my style suit to the Polish league. My strong point is to throw shoots and create positions for other players. I feel comfortable playing as a point guard or shooting guard. In attack I like to play pick and rolls. In this way I played at the university and I believe that I will be able to do it also at the professional level. I can play wisely and my characteristic feature is that I like to work hard during trainings - it is characterized by LaChance.
