Carson Desrosiers Signs with Finnish Team Kataja Basket Club
Carson Desrosiers has signed a professional basketball contract and will be taking his talents (and hair stylings) to Finland. The 7-footer from New Hampshire will play for Kataja Basket Club in Joensuu, Finland. Kataja plays in the Korisliiga which is the best league in Finland and is comprised of the top 11 teams in the country.
