FC BARCELONA REGAL keeps Ndong
Boniface NDong - Regal FC BarcelonaSpanish League champion FC Barcelona Regal has retained another big man who helped win the Euroleague title in 2010, center Boniface Ndong, for one more year, the club announced Tuesday. Ndong (2.13 meters, 33 years old) averaged 6.2 points and 12 minutes per game last season. As such, his scoring average per 40 minutes was 22.8 points, the fourth-best among all Turkish Airlines Euroleague players. Ndong joined Barcelona for its run to the title in 2009-10 after having played his first two Euroleague seasons with another Spanish team, Unicaja. Before that, he played in four other countries since having discovered basketball as a teen in his homeland, Senegal. He started playing professionally in Germany with Rattlesdorf and Breitengrussbach. His next stop was France and Dijon, with whom he averaged double figures as a scorer from 2003 to 2005. The next season he spent in the NBA with the Lost Angeles Clippers before returning to Europe with Spartak St. Petersburg of Russia, where he enjoyed his highest-scoring season, 14.8 points per game. Two seasons scoring in double digits with Unicaja solidified his Euroleague credentials for Barcelona, who he helped make a champion and now will stay with at least one more season.
