Jeleel Akindele signed by Gran Canaria

Jeleel Akindele

Spanish Liga Endesa team Herbalife Gran Canaria 2014 has added Nigerian big man Jeleel Akindele (216 cm, Chicago State’05) for the remainder of the season. Gran Canaria 2014 is currently fifth in the Liga Endesa standings with a record of 16-11 and is likely adding Akindele to reinforce their frontcourt for hopefully a deep post-season run.

Jeleel, or “Deji” is moving from KK Buducnost Voli Podgorica (Montenegro-Erste Liga), winners of the 2014 Montenegrin Cup. He appeared in 10 games for them in the Eurocup and notched averages of 11.7 ppg and 8.5 rpg. The seven-footer also played in 24 games for Buducnost in the Adriatic league and there he averaged 9.3 ppg and 6.6 rpg.
