A week away from the beginning of pre-season, Ludwigsburg signed its third and last player. After Mark Dorris and Seth Tarver, here comes Kurt Looby. The 27-year old big man played last season in Greece with Peristeri, where he averaged 6.5 points, 7 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game.
“Kurt’s main strength is clearly his defence – said head coach Markus Jochum – I see him as the perfect complementary player to John Bowler. He started to play basketball very late and his offensive progress is not over yet. His former coaches and teammates have all been impressed with Kurt’s will to improve constantly. I am convinced he will be a big plus to our team and I am very happy to have him on board”.
