Cedi's new teammate revealed: BCL star heads to PAOK
Greek side PAOK has added American point guard Leland Walker, who plays for Finnish club Salon Vilpas, to its roster. The player will stay on loan with the Finnish team until the Basketball Champions League ends.

Greek club PAOK announced that it has reached an agreement with 23-year-old American point guard Leland Walker, who currently wears the jersey of Finnish team Salon Vilpas. The 1.85 metre young player will continue to play for Vilpas on loan until the club's Basketball Champions League journey ends.
Vilpas is in the same group as AEK, Antwerp and Szombathely, and currently sits last in the group at 0-2. If the team is eliminated, it is reported that PAOK could loan Walker to another BCL club so he can gain European experience.
Walker stood out in the qualifying round with a 42-point performance that carried his side to a 98-96 win over Oradea. He has kept his effective play going in the regular season, averaging 24.5 points and 7.5 assists per game, which places him among the tournament's top four players in both categories. He also averages 3.5 rebounds per game.
The American guard's shooting is also notable. He is converting 44.1 percent of his two-point attempts and 25 percent of his shots from behind the three-point line. The young player's development is being followed closely.
