PLAYER PROFILE

Career: Levallois (France-Pro A and B, 1995-99), Chalon (France-Pro A, 1999-2002), ASVEL (France-Pro A, 2002-04), Ionikos (Greece-ESAK, 2004), Leche Rio Lugo (Spain-ACB, 2005), Pau-Orthez (France-Pro A, 2005). Has sign with Strasbourg (France-Pro A).

Nicknamed “The Shaker” for his ability to bang with any opponent inside the paint. Another French speciality: a too short inside player with great athletic abilities. Has become a contender for National Team selection when he started to develop a reliable 3-point shot, three years ago. Had a tumultuous first season abroad, starting in Greece (Ionikos), where… he didn’t get paid, then moving to Spain (Lugo) before finishing his trip by a few playoff games with Pau-Orthez. Has just signed with Strasbourg, last season’s surprising French league winner, where he intends to settle down for a longer period of time. Played, along with Mous Sonko and NT teamate, Vincent Masingue, in Levallois, in a young and exiting team that will be remembered in France as “The cardiac Kids”.
