Thunderclap in Betclic Elite. While rumors and gossip announced a return of Edwin Jackson to Villeurbanne, it was finally Timothé Luwawu-Cabarrot – player of the French team with 328 NBA games – who arrived at the Astroballe. Huge blow.
The rumor of Edwin Jackson’s return to ASVEL spread, the first detractors were already planning to leave a package on the Parker’s doorstep. It will ultimately be a large bouquet of roses. Timothé Luwawu-Cabarrot arrives. His signature is a luxurious symbol of the partnership – still functional – between Tony Parker’s club and the French who are looking to bounce back. And in this specific case, “bounce back” may not be the right term. On a personal level, TLC comes out ofa half-finished season at the Olimpia Milan : 24 EuroLeague matches, 14 Italian league matches, averages around 10 points at 45% shooting. 3&D is unstoppable. But now, coach Ettore Messina did not empower him beyond a short twenty minutes per evening, and the two parties separated last April. Thus, TLC is more of a big fish thrown back into the sea than a carp that needs to be fed to get a good net out of it. The metaphor is crap, we grant you, but the transfer window of ASVEL is for the moment brilliant. The altruistic Paris Lee leads. The lightning scorer Franck Jackson on position 2. Mike Scott, Timothé Luwawu-Cabarrot and Boris Dallo in the wings. Joffrey Lauvergne and Youssoupha Fall inside. Dee Bost and Nando De Colo still under contract. David Lighty and Charles Kahudi at the bottom of the drawer.
There’s clearly plenty to do, but for now – and because the celebrations were counted by the drop over the past season – the president relishes the signing of his new winger. Winger who we remember left the NBA on a 2021-22 season with 52 games including 18 starts in the Hawks jersey. Just to realize a little: the fishing was not good, it is unexpected.
“It’s a huge blow, a great pride to attract one of the very best French players of the moment. I know Timothé perfectly and I have no doubts regarding everything he can bring to the team. I’m very happy that he was able to trust our project and I can’t wait to see him wear our jersey! »
– Tony Parker, President of ASVEL
