What basketball team does Ovie Soko from Love Island play for?
ORIGINALLY from London, Soko attended Bethel High School in Hampton, Virginia.
A 6ft7 small-forward, he played for his school before attending college at UAB where he excelled over a three year period.
And after success at college level, Soko entered the NBA draft in 2014 but was left un-drafted.
He turned professional in the same year and signed a one-year deal with Boulazac Dordogneof in France.
Since then he's gone on to appear for Trikala Aries, Enel Brindisi and currently plays for UCAM Murcia in Spain.

Soko has also played for Great Britain and currently boasts over 50,000 followers.
And in June this year it was revealed that he would be starring in the 2019 version of Love Island, immediately catching the eye of Anna.
When asked to rate himself, he stated: "I feel like I’m an 8 but an international 8, some people call themselves a 10 but you can be a 10 in one place and go to the opposite side of the world and be a 4.
"Wherever I go around the world, I think I can be an 8. My best feature is my personality, I am just a vibe and people like being around my energy."
