Denain signs Shawn King

Denain ASC Voltaire (ProB) signed experienced 37-year old Vincentian ex-international center Shawn King (208-100kg-82, college: ORU, agency: Pensack Sports). He played last season at BM Slam Stal in Polish EBL league. In 33 games he had 10.5ppg, 10.8rpg and 1.9apg. King helped them to win the cup. A very impressive season as he was named to Eurobasket.com All-Polish League Honorable Mention and League Player of the Week.
The previous (17-18) season he played at Primorska (Liga Nova KBM) in Slovenian league where in 33 games he recorded 7.0ppg, 8.2rpg and 1.0bpg. King contributed to his team winning the Cup and make to league semifinals. King also played 25 games in ABA League where he averaged 9.2ppg, 8.4rpg, 1.0apg and 1.5bpg.
The list of the past achievements is quite long as among others King was voted Eurobasket.com All-Polish League Player of the Year in 2017.
He also represented Saint Vincent at the CBC Championships in Tortola (British Virgin Islands) four years ago. His stats at that event were 6 games: 12.5ppg, Reb-1(14.8rpg), 2.0apg, 1.2spg, Blocks-2(3.2bpg), FGP-1(75.0%), FT: 78.9%.
King is quite experienced player. He has played in eight different countries on four different continents (Europe, Asia, Latin America and of course North America). King has played previously professionally in Belarus, Estonia (Kalev/Cramo), Italy, Lebanon (Al Riyadi), Ukraine, Venezuela (Bucaneros), France (Gravelines Dunkerque, Sluc Nancy and STB Le Havre) and Slovenia (Hopsi Polzela).
It's very possible he may end his playing career at Denain.
King attended Oral Roberts University until 2008 and it will be his twelfth (!!!) season as a professional player.
