Marc-Owen Fodzo Dada Joins Creighton for NCAA Career
Following his debut professional season with SLUC Nancy, Marc-Owen Fodzo Dada is making the move across the Atlantic. The young point guard, standing at 1.90 meters and 19 years old, will compete in the NCAA next season. He will play for the Creighton Bluejays in Omaha, Nebraska, a Division I program renowned for its participation in the Big East Conference.
Under the guidance of Sylvain Lautié, the former French youth international had a solid first season in the Betclic Elite league, contributing to SLUC Nancy's rotation. In 31 games, he averaged 6.1 points with 49.2% field goal accuracy, 1.1 rebounds, and 1.9 assists, achieving an average rating of 5.4 over 13 minutes per game. However, there are areas for improvement, such as his 3-point shooting (27.7%) and ball handling (1.2 turnovers per game). He previously withdrew his name from the NBA draft in May.
