As fan from his college day's how did Jonte Flowers play I mean I see the stats they look pretty good.

Swedish league is one of the weakest in Europe.

Jonte was arguably the best player in the swedish league. The league is less than stellar no doubt but Jonte could easily move on to a bigger stage like Germany next year.

Jonte's coach from last season is returning to a finnish team for next year and he said that he's looking to bring an american from Sweden with him. Some rumors tell it could be Jonte. Now, finnish league is very much on par with Sweden IMO, so I think it comes down to what he's looking for, a prominent role in the team or a possible step up in his career.

Jonte is close to signing with Vichy in ProA France.

He was one of the best players in Basketligan this year. The competition is not great though, it's one of the worst leagues in Europe. But Solna Vikings are a good team, they lost in the Finals in 6 games. He's definitely able to play in some bigger leagues in Europe, like in France or Germany.

Jonte has signed with Vichy in ProA France, but his brother Michael, who struggled in Germany last year, may be going to play for Jonte's old coach. Jonte got a nice little raise too, and is in a position to have a great year with Vichy.
