Kenan Reinhart und David Böning bleiben bei den Dragons Rhöndorf, securing their positions for the upcoming basketball season as the club solidifies its roster foundations in Bad Honnef. According to official club communications released by dragons.de, the 18-year-old shooting guard Kenan Reinhart has signed a two-year professional contract with the Telekom Baskets Bonn while retaining a dual license to continue playing for the ProB side in Rhöndorf.
Kenan Reinhart Secures Two-Year Deal with Dual License
The decision keeps one of Germany’s most promising young talents within the integrated basketball program shared by Bonn and Rhöndorf. According to dragons.de, Reinhart’s new agreement bridges the gap between the ProB development team and the Bundesliga club. Standing at 1.94 meters and weighing 81 kilograms, the guard has built a reputation as a lethal perimeter threat, drawing attention during international showcases such as the Youth Basketball Champions League, where he averaged 14.5 points per game against formidable opponents like Galatasaray Istanbul and Filou Ostende.
Dragons head coach Max Becker emphasized the importance of retaining the player despite outside interest. According to dragons.de, Becker noted that Reinhart played a central role in club planning from the outset and chose the Bonn-Rhöndorfer pathway despite lucrative alternative offers. Last season with the U19 NBBL team, Reinhart averaged 19.2 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.4 assists, while contributing roughly four points per contest in limited ProB appearances.
Development Pathway and Strategic Continuity
Baskets sporting director Savo Milovic highlighted the player’s progression since moving from Cologne to the joint program, pointing out that Reinhart utilized FIBA international breaks to integrate into professional training sessions in Bonn. According to dragons.de, Milovic confirmed that the dual-license structure will allow Reinhart to shoulder responsibility in Rhöndorf’s ProB lineup while remaining firmly anchored in the Telekom Baskets training squad.
“Ich bin sehr glücklich darüber, bei Bonn und Rhöndorf meinen ersten Profivertrag zu unterschreiben,” Reinhart stated, according to dragons.de, emphasizing that head coach Max Becker’s continued trust was the decisive factor in his choice. The player’s journey from SG RheinStars Köln and his subsequent emergence as a standout in the German U16 and U17 national teams underscore a trajectory toward higher professional tiers.
Roster Implications for the Dragons
Alongside Reinhart, the continuity of David Böning within the Dragons Rhöndorf organization provides vital stability for the Bad Honnef club as preparations continue.
