Professional career

First experiences in the BAL (2022)

Darlan made his professional debut in 2022 with Angolan club Petro de Luanda in the Basketball Africa League (BAL). Under the BAL Elevate program, he was assigned to Petro.[4] He was on the roster that made it to the 2022 BAL Finals, where they lost to US Monastir.[5] He averaged 4.3 points and 2 rebounds in the 2022 BAL season.[6]

NBA G League Ignite (2023–2024)

On 2 March 2023, Darlan committed to the NBA G League Ignite, choosing to become a professional player instead of playing in college. He had drawn offers from Arizona, Kansas and Santa Clara, among others.[8] On 25 May, he officially signed with the Ignite.[9] Dealing with an ankle injury for the majority of the season and facing heavy competition for playing time,[10] Darlan averaged 4.7 points, 4.3 rebounds in 18.1 minutes of play in the 2023–24 season.[11]

Bangui Sporting Club (2024)

On 4 April 2024, Bangui Sporting Club from the Central African Republic revealed Darlan was on the team's roster for the 2024 BAL season.[12] Darlan scored 7 points on 3-11 shooting in his Bangui debut against Al-Ahly Ly.[13] He had career-highs of 23 points and 14 rebounds in a loss against defending champions Al Ahly.[10]

Player profile

Darlan is a 6 ft 6 in (1.98 m) tall combo guard with a 7 ft 1 in (2.16 m) wingspan and is known for his playmaking abilities and defensive versatility because of his large frame.[8][19]
