Ville Kaunisto to join Lille

Finnish forward Ville Kaunisto (205 cm) will be playing with Lille Metropole Basket (France, Pro B) next season.

It was a similar story last season for Ville Kaunisto as he finished first for scoring with 18.2 points per game and first in rebounds with 11.3 per game. Kaunisto recently finished the 2012/2013 season with Blois after the team slipped to an overtime defeat against Souffel in the NM1 final for promotion to the ProB.
