Good luck Kwan.  It is great to know that former Zips can make a career playing pro ball.  Enjoy the ride.  Best of luck in the pros.

Good Luck Kwan!  Love that he is still playing for the "Roos"!

[clarkwgriswold]

Good luck to Kwan and congrats.  Have to love the roo connection!

[Z.I.P.]

Thanks Mom!  And all blessings to the whole Chop Fam, and the Kangoeroes! 

Maybe he can take some grad courses in Belgian brewing!    

[Balsy]

So he's going from a kangaroo to a Kangoeroe!  That's actually got to be the coolest post-akron career move I've seen!

Kangoeroes Basket Willebroek is a basketball club based in Willebroek, Belgium. The team plays in the Belgian Basketball League since 2013. The club was founded in 2009, as a result of a merger between BBC Kangoeroes Willebroek and Boom BBC. The team name was BBC Kangoeroes-Boom, but in summer 2013 the team was renamed Kangoeroes Basket Willebroek. In the 2013–14 season Kangoeroes started playing in the professional Ethias League, after the club received a C-licence from the Belgium Basketball Federation. This license allowed the team to play with a lower budget than other teams. They play in the Sporthal de Schalk Arena, which has a 1,000 seat capacity. 

 

The team has not finished very well in the league, so Kwan's addition should have an immediate impact on their future accomplishments. Fear the Roes?

Kwan has a lot of potential to make noise in whatever league he ends up being in. He's a big that can rebound, play D, and can hit the long ball. I know he's capable of reaching higher limits than what we've witnessed at Akron.

I would rather have seen these capabilities elevate themselves between Jan. and Mar. of this year, rather than some later time in Europe.

That glass still half-empty, Skip?

Kwan off to a good start for the Roos  After 4 games he is leading the team in minutes played, 3rd in scoring,  leading rebounder, and is shooting well at almost 50% from 3.

[kreed5120]

Glad to hear he is having success. I sometimes grew frustrated with this shot selection, but I could tell he always gave 110%. He should have a successful career in whatever league he ends up in.

[1981 grad]

It looks like they use him as a perimeter player with 26 three point attempts to 11 two point attempts and only a couple foul shots attempted.  It does not surprise me that Kwan leads the team in rebounds.  He really developed into a great rebounder during his years at Akron.  I hope he continues to have great success.
