Dawson Inks 6'9'' KC Chol Out of Melbourne
The Dawson Bucs announced the signing of KC Chol from Melbourne, Australia. Chol is a talented 6'9" wing/forward with a 7'3" wingspan who can play and defend multiple positions.
"KC is a great signing for us," shared Dawson Coach Joe Peterson. "His size, length and mobility are a rare commodity at our level. With those qualities and his skill set, he has a high ceiling. With the right work ethic and development, he will keep getting better and better."
KC started his basketball journey playing AAU basketball with Red Roo Sports late in 2021. His height and athleticism make a big impact on the game. KC is a defensive menace with his shot-blocking and length in the passing lanes. His shot making ability is consistent in the mid-range and beyond the arc. Chol averages 11 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks per game, while shooting 39% from 3-point range.
"Dawson was the best option for me," according to Chol. "It is a highly respected juco, with a well experienced coach; and they have previous and present players I can trust and believe in. I'm excited to continue winning while I grow and shape myself into a better person and player under Coach Peterson."
Playing with Red Roo sports, KC has won several championships, including the AAU Australia Spring Madness Tournaments in 2022 and 2023 (Australian National Championship), AAU USA World Championship 20U, Oyiti Cup in 2023 and finishing as the runners up in the AAU USA World Championship 17U.
The President of Red Roo Sports, James Kerr, had this to say, "With every opportunity comes responsibility. KC can redefine his life with this amazing blessing provided by DCC. We would like to sincerely thank Coach Peterson for the trust shown in our program. Red Roo's formula for success has always been excellence over time with discipline. The only thing a KANGAROO cannot do is go backwards. Good luck KC! We wish you nothing but success moving forward."
