USA Select Player, Ije Nwankwo has big first pro game!

Ije Nwankwo, a member of the 2006 USA Select European Tour team showed his worth in his professional debut. The 6’8″ forward scored 23 points and grabbed 9 rebounds only a few days after arriving in Portugal for his club, Vittora Sporte Club. “Ije is really a unique player,” stated USA Select Coach, Sean Kilmartin; “he has a huge body and the frame of a top power forward at 6’8″ and 260 pounds, but he has a very good perimeter game, allowing him to pull up from outside and score” The club, Vittoria, plays in the “Proligia” of Portugal. Sean Kilmartin, General Manager of USA Select arranged the transaction.

Ije is a product of Purdue and Cleveland State University. He is represented by S2K Sports run by Sean Keneally and Delaney Rudd
