From one promoted to… another promoted! At the end of a good season with Poitiers Basket 86 (8.8 points at 58% shooting success and 5.4 rebounds for 12.8 rating in 21 minutes) which returned to Pro B after two years of purgatory in NM1, Kentan Facey (30 years old, 2.06 m) will join Caen very soon, according to our information. The Norman club also returns to the second division after five years in the third tier. He recently beat Saint-Vallier in the final of the NM1 playoffs.
After two first professional years in southern Europe, first in Trikala in Greece (2017-2018) then in Limassol in Cyprus (2018-2019), the NCAA university champion with UConn has never left France and Pro B. Discovered by Stéphane Eberlin, then emblematic coach of Souffelweyersheim (2019-2021), the Jamaican is therefore preparing to meet him again a few years later but in Normandy this time. Subsequently, Facey played in Blois, as a medical replacement, where he won the promotion playoffs in 2022. But having just recovered from a cruciate ligament rupture that kept him away from the field for many months, he will not discover the Betclic ELITE with the Loir-et-Cher club. On the other hand, he will experience relegation with Saint-Vallier a year later. Not accompanying the SVBD in NM1, it was in Poitiers that he continued his career.
Unanimously appreciated for his human qualities wherever he has been thanks to his calm temperament and his leadership, Kentan Facey will bring his valuable experience of the division to Caen Basket Calvados, which has just been promoted.
