Ellis Kayijuka

Thiago Cordeiro^[1] (born in Pernambuco,^[2] but listed by Rwanda as born Ellis Kayijuka on April 30, 1981, in Nyamirambo) is a Brazilian basketball player who was part of the Rwanda national basketball team at the 2009 FIBA Africa Championship.^[3] He played for Dayton Flyers men's basketball in the 2007–08 season.^[2]

Kayijuka was a late addition to the Rwandan team for the 2009 FIBA Africa Championship after two Rwandan players pulled out of the tournament three weeks before the scheduled opener.^[4] Despite this, Kayijuka averaged 5.8 PPG, 5 RPG, and 1.6 BPG while teaming with Robert Thomson in the middle to help lead the Rwandans to a 9th-place finish and their best performance to date at the African Championships.^[5]
