APR BBC, with a clear objective of winning the BAL 2025 championship, continues to strengthen its roster. The addition of Chasson Randle and Youssou Ndoye brings fresh energy and high expectations for the Rwandan army team as they prepare to face tough competition in the Nile Conference, aiming to elevate their level of play.
Randle, known for his performances in the NBA G-League, brings invaluable experience to the point guard position. His time with several NBA teams is expected to boost APR BBC’s decision-making and enhance the overall performance of his teammates. Despite still being relatively young, Randle has the skillset to make a significant impact on the game—an essential asset for the team.
Youssou Ndoye, a powerful and physical center, will contribute by adding strength to the team’s interior play, especially against tough opponents like Al-Ahli Tripoli and South Africa’s MBB. With experience from various international clubs, Ndoye is expected to bring cohesion to the team while reinforcing its inside game.
APR BBC plans to make the most of these new players as they aim for top performances in the group stage, hoping to secure the top spot in the Nile Conference. The team’s head coach is optimistic that the new signings will help the team compete effectively against traditionally strong opponents, especially after falling short of reaching the BAL 2024 playoffs.
From May 17 to May 25, 2025, APR BBC will host and compete in the Nile Conference group stage at BK Arena in Kigali. Although the new players will be joining the squad shortly, the team will continue intensive training to build chemistry and sharpen the skills of the existing players. The goal is to make history and leave a strong mark in the final stages of the BAL 2025 tournament.
Overall, APR BBC is committed to playing top-level basketball, prioritizing teamwork and fostering strong relationships between players and fans. In pursuit of victories and continued progress, the army team is determined to compete alongside Africa’s best on the journey to claim the BAL championship title.
