Kelly McCarty (201 cm, South Mississippi’98) has left Unics Kazan (Russia, PBL, VTB League, and Euoleague) after coming to a mutual decision with the club.

McCarty also played 3 games in Eurocup where he averaged just 2.3ppg and 1.3rpg while during4 games played in the VTB United League he averaged 4.0ppg and 2.3rpg.

Kelly McCarty is in the twilight of his career, but last season with Kazan proved to be very fruitful. The power forward averaged 11.5ppg, 4.6rpg, and 1.2apg over 25 games, which was enough to see him selected for the Russian League All-Star game.
