Former Penn State University-Wilkes Barre player Mensah, has bounced around multiple spots since graduating in 2015. The 28 year old recently played in the Spanish lower division for Valencia.

He also featured in the All Star Game in Armenia despite his brief appearances in the league; his scoring and rebounding exploits have made him a top tier league player.
