Team 2008-09: MZT SKOPJE (FYR of Macedonia-1) Career: Strumica (MKD-1, 2003-04), Vardar Skopje (MKD-1, 2004-06), Bosna Sarajevo (Bosnia-D1 2006-07), Khimik (Ukraine-Superleague 2007), Strumica (MKD-1, 2007-08), Kavadarci (MKD-1, 2008-09) Another youngster who has come through the system and developed into one of the leading players domestically, it will be interesting to see if he can now take his game to the next level. Sokolov has European experience after playing in EuroCup two years ago with Strumica but is out of a contract at Skopje and his next few professional years will be important in his continued development. Has played big minutes in a disappointing season for his club team and has sampled life in foreign leagues in the Ukraine and Bosnia and Herzegovina. With good scoring ability and an eye for an assist, this hard working player will be hoping he is given minutes off the bench after playing only once during qualifying. |
