After a completely catastrophic season (2 victories in 23 games), Poitiers Basket 86 decided to rectify the situation. And therefore to bet on sure values for its recruitment. The club has thus formalized the return of the British interior Laurence Ekperigin (32 years old, 2m01), already passed by the club during the seasons 2013/14 and 2015/16.
« It was a real opportunity for us and for him also to return to Poitiers. He is a leading player in the domestic sector, who will bring his energy. He has a real ability to take rebounds. He is very present in defense. And offensively, he is able to score points and give assists. He’s kind of our 2nd point guard inside. It will be able to evolve on station 5 but also to shift 4. This is interesting, because today our racket will be composed of 3 indoor players, including Jim SEYMOUR. He is an indoor player with good experience in the league. We crossed paths a few times as an opponent. He has a revenge spirit, and he is above all someone who is known by the public and who knows Poitiers, and I think that is an asset “ appreciate the coach Jérôme Navier.
During her second visit to Poitiers, Laurence Ekperigin was worth 12.9 points and 8.5 rebounds on average.
