New York, New York – Former 2022-23 CUNYAC Community College All-Star and two-time CUNYAC Rookie of the Week, Daniel Laffitte (New York, New York) will begin his professional career after signing to play for Folgore Fucecchio in Italy. Folgore Fucecchino competes in the second division of the Italian league.
 
Laffitte made an immediate impact on the floor during his only season for the Panthers men's basketball program, ranking second in scoring average (12.1), three-pointers made (24), and three-pointers attempted (87). He also ranked third in total points (254), rebounds (132), field goals made (96), and field goals attempted (224). In addition, the New York, New York native scored in double figures 15 times, including six in his final eight games during the 2022-23 season, with two double-doubles.
 
The two-time CUNYAC Rookie of the Week dropped a career-high 23 points against Hostos Community College on December 8, 2022, during the Panther's five-game win streak to close out 2022. Laffitte also hauled down a career-high 17 rebounds against Bronx Community College on February 9, 2023.
 
The New York, New York native also helped the Panthers program reach a mark not reached in 21 years when he joined fellow teammates Jeremiah Cardi (New York, New York) and freshmen Ysaia Marte (Bronx, New York) as 2022-23 CUNYAC Community College All-Stars. The Panthers had three selections for the first time since the 2001-02 season. 
 
Laffitte put an exclamation on his season by putting together a dominating performance in the 2023 CUNYAC Community College Championship game against Queensborough Community College with a team-best 19 points with a team-high three treys and four steals en route to being named to the CUNYAC Community College Men's Basketball All-Tournament Team.
