Issuf Sanon played for Olimpija Ljubljana last year in the Adriatic League, the Slovenian league and the Basketball Champions League and nothing will change in the 2018-19 season.

As the “Washington Post” reported“He’s playing for Olimpija Ljubljana next year. He’s under contract with them. He’s going to be playing over there, developing game, getting minutes. He’s playing in a very tough league over there,” Wizards President Ernie Grunfeld said. “We hope to have him developed in a few years. He’s only 18 years old, but very athletic, very talented. [He] makes plays, he has a nice shot and he’s playing very tough competition.”

The young guard will play for the Wizards in the Las Vegas summer league, but he will be stashed in Europe.
