The AFROCAN is a new FIBA tournament for players based in their domestic leagues. The first edition was held in Bamako in July 0f 2019. Plenty of suprises. Congo DR were the winners. Kenya was the surprise runner up. Angola were 3rd.
Kenya recorded comprehensive victories over Nigeria, Morocco, Tunisia and CIV. This brings into question how strong the domestic league is in Nigeria and Tunisia. They seem to rely on overseas based players, some of whom have never stepped in the countries they are playing for.
Congo DR despite the political instability, appear to have by far the best home based players.
