Career highlights and awards

Wesley Alexandre Sena da Silva (born May 2, 1996) is a Brazilian professional basketball player for CB Prat of the LEB Oro.

Playing career

Sena played for Palmeiras, seeing action in the top-tier of Brazilian basketball, the NBB, until 2014 and then made the switch to fellow NBB outfit Bauru.[1] With Bauru, he won the 2014 Liga Sudamericana de Básquetbol and the 2015 FIBA Americas League.

He was an early entry candidate for the 2016 NBA draft, but later removed his name from the list.[2] The same year, at age 20, he signed for FC Barcelona of the Spanish ACB. To begin with, he jumped between Barça’s first team and their reserve team, that plays in LEB Oro.[3]

On 23 October 2016, Sena made his debut in Liga ACB. He played three minutes and scored one point in Barcelona's 80–58 win over Real Betis Energía Plus.[4]

In February 2017, Sena left FC Barcelona Lassa by mutual consent.[5] He saw action in only one ACB game for Barcelona, while being a regular in the reserve side, averaging 6.8 points and 3.3 rebounds a contest.

In March 2017, he joined the Contagem Towers of the Liga Ouro de Basquete in his native Brazil.[6]

On August 8, 2018, Sena signed with CB Prat of the LEB Oro.[7]

International career

Sena has represented his country in international junior competition, competing with Brazil in the 2013 U17 South America Championship and the 2014 U18 FIBA Americas.
