Yannick Bokolo - EuroBasket 2009 Profile

Team 2008-09: GRAVELINES-DUNKERQUE (France-Pro A)
Career: ASE Strasbourg (France-4th Div., 1999-2000), Centre Fédéral-INSEP (France-3rd Div, 2000-03), LE MANS (France-Pro A, 2003-08), Gravelines-Dunkerque (France-Pro A, 2008-09)

Trained at Centre Fédéral-INSEP, France's main basketball player factory, Bokolo is a great athlete with a very good work ethic. In the fall of 2004 it was a bit of a surprise when the then 19-year-old made the final cut of the national team for the Qualifying Round of EuroBasket 2005. His refreshing, hard working and fearless attitude impressed the coaching staff and he almost doubled his stats for his club the following season (7.3 ppg). As a result, he won a spot on the national team for the 2006 World Championship. Bokolo also won the French League with Le Mans in 2005-06, but has struggled a bit since then. A great defensive player, Bokolo is still learning to be an effective playmaker and needs to work on his outside shot. In this team, he should be used only in some defensive missions.
