PGE Turow celebrates
In its first season ever playing international competition, PGE Turow Zgorzelec is without doubt the biggest surprise among the would-be ULEB Cup champions at the Final Eight in Turin.

Following a successful university career, Kelati debuted as a pro in Europe two seasons ago, helping Dexia Mons-Hainaut take the Belgian Cup in 2006. READ MORE
