WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- WyKevin Bazemore, a four-year starter at Winston-Salem State and one of the best rebounders in school history, has signed a contract to play pro basketball overseas.
Bazemore, a 6-3 forward, was a four-time All-CIAA player and is the 12th leading scorer (1,337 points) in school history and third in career rebounds (984). During his four seasons at WSSU, he helped the Rams to three CIAA title games and one CIAA title.
A relentless rebounder, Bazemore usually guarded taller players during his time with the Rams.
“I’m excited about getting this opportunity to play,” said Bazemore, who stayed in Winston-Salem over summer training. “My agent (James Blackburn) and I think this will be the best chance for me so getting to go over to Spain is going to be pretty cool.”
Bazemore will play for Ule Puertalia Leon, a team in the fourth division of the Spanish League. Bazemore’s team plays in the Liga EBA Division.
He will leave next week for training camp and games will run from October until May.
