Lloyd Burgess ’14 became the 14th professional basketball player in Christ School history by signing this week with Albania’s BC Teuta Durrës.
The Greenie announced the move Thursday on his social media, tweeting out, “I’m very excited for this opportunity to continue my journey and I know the best is yet to come!”
Burgess, 25, is a 6-foot-11 center from Durham, N.C. He started two seasons for Christ School, averaging 7.4 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks per game as a senior. Burgess continued his career at UNC Greensboro, where he graduated in 2019 with a degree in Applied Arts and Sciences. The Spartans reached the NCAA Tournament in Burgess’ next-to-last college season and set a school record for wins (29) in his final one. Burgess was part of the winningest senior class in UNCG history (96 victories), a record that has since been eclipsed.
Teuta Durrës plays in the Albanian Basketball Superliga, the highest division in the Albanian Basketball League. The team’s next game is February 8.
