Thank you, Mel, Marco and Ruben! 6 june 2007

The ageing BC Khimki players – American guard Melvin Booker, Italian guard Gianmarco Pozzecco and center Ruben Wolkowyski from Argentina and BC Khimki decided not to extend the contracts.


“Their contacts are due and by mutual agreement we made a decision not to prolong it. – said the BC Khimki president Aleksey BODUNKOV — Booker is excellent, clever player, but during the bronze series he was tired. Pozzecco couldn’t become equivalent substitute of Booker but tried to do his best. He knew that we were not going to extend his contact but demonstrated the professionalism. Thus three old stagers leave our club. Now we have only one playmaker — Aleksey Shved 18-years old. BC Khimki will search for the new crack playmaker. And we keep considering some players with the Euroleague experience.
