Jakub Karwowski
Kanie, Poland
Forward
6’11” 200lbs
Class of 2015
Karwowski has signed with Coach Layer and the Flames. He attended SMS Cetniewo Sports Academy in Poland, the same institution current Flame Tomasz Gielo attended. “Karwowski is not your average big man, as he possesses unique ball handling and shooting abilities for his size. Karwowski comes from a basketball family, with his father Leszek having played professionally in Poland for 20 years.” Coach Layer had this to say about Karwowski: “Jakub is long (7-2 wingspan), skilled and has a terrific upside. We have had great success with Tomasz Gielo from Poland and are thrilled that Jakub will be continuing that pipeline. The player development program at the SMS Cetniewo Sports Academy is tremendous and will help Jakub just like it did Tomasz. At 6-11, he can shoot it, face the basket and run the floor, which will allow him to play multiple positions and fit into our system. This is a great sign for our future.”
