Enisey had a successful run in VTB League, managing a first-time achievement of advancing to the playoffs by finishing sixth (13 – 11 record) in the regular season. And Suleiman Braimoh’s impact off the bench played a big part on that.

The Nigierian-American forward entered 22 out of the 24 games he played as a reserve but that didn’t stop him from producing plenty. He finished the season averaging 13 points, 5 rebounds, 1.8 assists for a 13.8 in PIR evaluation rating. Numbers that granted him the “Sixth Man of the Year” award.

Braimoh succeeds James Augustine (2013-2014 with Khimki Moscow), Petteri Koponen (2014-2015, Khimki Moscow) and Quino Colom (2015-2016, Unics Kazan).
