Eurochallenge team BK Ventspils have swooped for former Barons star Oritseweyinmi Efejuku.
The guard, who shone in the Latvian Basketball League last season when leading Barons to the league title, began the 2010-11 campaign with CEZ Nymburk in the Czech Republic but didn't last long there and then moved to Ukraine to play for Ferro. His time there ended up being a short spell as well.
Ventspils are hoping that a return to Latvia, where Efejuku averaged more than 18 points per game last season, will get the best out of the player.
"His style of play may not only cause headaches for opponents, but also please all the basketball fans with the beautiful game that Efejuku has already shown to Latvian fans," said BK Ventspils General Manager Martins Ribens. Ventspils lead the LBL standings.
They are in Group K of the EuroChallenge Last 16 with Lisboa e Benfica, BCM Gravelines Dunkerque and Norrköoping Dolphins.
