LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne has given its frontcourt more size and muscle with an athletic center John Egbunu who inked a one-year deal on Thursday. Egbunu (2.11 meters, 28 years old) arrives from Gaziantep, where he posted 11.5 points on 63.1% shooting, along with 7.6 rebounds and a third-best 1.3 blocks, in Turkish League action last season. That was his third season on the European continent, but the first that he spent the entire campaign with one team.

Egbunu played college basketball for four years at the University of Florida, before having his first year as a professional in the 2019-20 campaign with the Long Island Nets in the G League. The following season, he started with a brief stint with KT Sonicboom in South Korea and ended the campaign with Varese in Italy. That is the club where he also played at the beginning of the 2021-22 campaign, prior to moving to Hapoel Jerusalem in Israel.
After four years of playing professional basketball, the Nigerian born center will now have a chance to make his presence felt under the rims in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague.
