BC Khimki's Melvin Booker must be the most laid back player in the FIBA Europe League this year.

With an impending Final Four match up against the awesome Russian outfit St Petersburg only one day away - his ice cool veneer has yet to be breached.

Oscar Torres has travelled far and wide since growing up in the depressed Caracas district of Los Sin Techo (Those Without Roofs).

The youngest of seven children in a working class family, Torres is now one of the best players in European basketball with BC Khimki.

BC Khimki forward Oscar Torres will join team-mate Ruben Wolkowisky on the Rest of the World roster at the FIBA Europe League All-Star Day.

Although not originally selected as an All-Star, Torres will replace Besiktas' Andrew Ellis who has picked up a knee injury that will sideline him for 3 weeks.
