Luc Tselan Tsiene Etou (born June 4, 1992), also known as "Junior" Etou[1] is a basketball player who was born in Pointe-Noire, Republic of Congo and is currently a Sophomore at Rutgers University.[2] He competed with the Republic of the Congo national basketball team at the 2009 African Championship, where he averaged 1.7 blocks per game, ranking second in the competition despite being the second youngest player at the tournament.[3] From 2012–2013 Etou played for Bishop Denis J. O'Connell High School, although according to Deadspin, his age made him ineligible.
