The good start of the season Timothé Luwawu-Cabarrot (2.01m, 25) with the Nets drew the attention of coach Vincent Collet. Asked about him last Friday, the technician from Normandy praised his performance since the end of December, which has enthused him with the prospect of the 2021 Olympic Games. After 14 matches, the French Riviera is at 8.7 points at 42, 6% success on shots (including 36.9% at 3-points), 2.2 rebounds and 1.1 assist in 21 minutes) within an ambitious team which has just recovered the star James Harden.
“When we saw the Brooklyn team at the start of the season, it was not obvious that he could find his place like this. We see in all the last matches that he is consistent, scoring between 10 and 14 points , plays a good twenty minutes in each game.
I will admit that the arrival of James Harden worries me a little. This is not necessarily good news. As he has still been consistent and efficient since the start of the season, I hope he will have convinced his coach (Steve Nash) to use him.
He has a profile that can be complementary to Evan (Fournier). Even if he plays 2, in international basketball he can hold the 3 position very well. He is physical, athletic so for us it is interesting. Especially since since the start of the season Nicolas Batum has been systematically used at post 4. “
Called up for the national team for the preparation of the 2019 World Cup, “TLC” had not been retained after the Pau internship. This time, he seems to have all his chances on the position 3 of the Blues, especially since he is very appreciated by the executives of the team.
