Clevin Hannah - Senegal National Team

[WuDrWu]

Clevin played for the Senegalese National Team over the summer (not sure of the relationship) and was a starter.

The Canadian roster is pretty strong if you ask me and Clev had 13 in a tough 3 point loss.


Clevin is back for a bit over the summer, looks spectacular, is his usual polite and engaging self and hopefully will teach some of the youngins how it's done.


He expects to play in Turkey next season and return to Senegal next summer for African Nation qualifying.

Nice. Great guy, deserves everything good that can happen.

Would love to see Clev working out CF at PG.

Maybe Turkey isn't the best fit...

Clevin is still one of my all-time favorites. Great ball handler.

For Clevin, or for anyone?

Sometimes international basketball can bring along with it more excitement than anyone really needs, although it depends on one's location --I don't think Cal Bruton, for example, had to worry about periodic coups after moving to Australia. (Just all those weird animals that can kill you.)

With Ramon playing for PR and Clevin for Senegal we have some nice international representation.


This is the story of a guy playing in Libya during Gaddafi's overthrow.

"...I feel at home,” said Clevin Hannah, a Wichita State alum and point guard for Senegal. “I don’t feel out of synch or out of place when I put my jersey on. It’s an honor.”

Stipends cover costs but there’s generally no compensation for international duty. Some countries and team sponsors pledge to pay bonuses for winning, however.A second passport can open doors because some pro leagues limit Americans. But most say the real value is the experience, both on and off the court.

Against Egypt, Hannah set up teammate Hamady Ndiaye for a third-quarter alley-oop that sent supporters in Dakar’s Marius Ndiaye Stadium into a frenzy. “There’s nothing like it,” Hannah said of the atmosphere as celebrations continued in the stands after the game. “It can’t compare to Europe or the U.S.”..."

Clev is in action in the semis today vs Nigeria on ESPN3 at 2:30 p.m. Yesterday he didn't start but played almost the entire second half in a win over Angola. 10 pts / 5 assists and 2 steals in 20 minutes. For the tourney, he's second overall in assists with 4.8 per game in only 18 minutes of court time.
