Meet Lovell Cook
The Lions ambitious plan to become a top flight team in Europe was the sole reason that their Head Coach & CEO Vince MaCaulay- Razaq decided travel to the Mecca of Summer Basketball (Las Vegas) to network and recruit. The Lions signed the former University of New Orleans star Lovell Cook, who is an exceptional talent that has the game, skills and ability to play at a high level in Europe.

Lovell averaged 24ppg at the GBSL and shot over 56% from the field. Lovell has a terrific jump shot and his ball handling and ability to create off the dribble is pro like. His size and skill level separated him from the other players at the GBSL.
