After being a solid force under the basket in Italy with Brescia, Tai Odiase is now making the move to Prometey to reinforce the Ukrainian side, which came short in last year’s 7DAYS EuroCup Semifinals against the runner-up Turk Telekom Ankara.

In his first-ever International campaign, the 27-year-old put up 7.2 points and 2.7 rebounds, shooting 61.8% from two. Before joining Alessandro Magro’s Brescia, where he won the 2023 Italian Cup, he also wore the jerseys of Tenerife, Lavrio, Greensboro Swarm, Göttingen, and Oldenburg.

The half-American and half-Nigerian center is the third arrival of the summer for the Ukrainian club, which recently added Marcus Keene from SIG Strasbourg and Jehyve Floyd.
