Although he was born in Boston and also considers himself a US citizen, he was ready to answer the call from the Ivory Coast, the land of his ancestors, and Coach Dessarzin could count on his pure talent in Libya.

He delivered against South Africa (13 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists) and Egypt (14 points and 7 rebounds) and did pretty well against Angola in the group game (9 points and 5 rebounds).

“He is a versatile player, a finesse player in fact, and he was really surprised by the type of aggressive and physical game that was played at the FIBA Africa Championship”, Randoald Dessarzin says.

“For sure, he will have to adapt to that but he is fresh off a good rookie season in Germany.” For Hagen, Kale averaged 11.9ppg and 7.0rpg.
