CJ Massinburg, the very good pick from Limoges CSP

Limougeaud CJ Massinburg (1.96 m, 24 years old) asserts himself as one of the revelations of the Betclic Elite.

Without Nicolas Lang and Demonte Harper, and while Gerry Blakes injured his knee at the end of the 3rd quarter, the Limoges CSP unceremoniously rejected Paris Basketball (93-76), at the cost of a third quarter -fire time (32-9).

We must underline the performance of the back CJ Massinburg who came close to the triple double and raised his evaluation very high: 32 points (11/18 shoots including 4/8 three-pointers), 9 rebounds, 9 assists, 3 interceptions, all with 4 stray balls to arrive at 41 evaluation. Beaublanc gave him a well-deserved standing ovation.

“It was a crazy game. Nicolas Lang and Demonte Harper, our two best scorers, were forfeited. It was the moment for the other players to take a step further. We believe in our team. When a guy is not there, it is up to the others to take care of it. I think that’s what we did tonight. Everyone contributed. Thanks to that, we won the match. In the second half, we had to increase our defensive intensity. We made lots of interceptions and everyone continued to play together. It was beautiful“, He rejoiced at the microphone to France Blue.

CJ Massinburg is a very nice pick. However, it was not obvious from reading his CV. Arrived in September as a medical freelance Gerry Blakes, renewed for the entire season in November, he had behind him four years at the University of Buffalo and two years in the G-League. You should know that after graduating from high school, the Division I NCAA colleges completely neglected him. Then, he was criticized for his lack of size and speed to target the NBA, but for Europe, it’s all good. It is rare that a player without international experience is so effective. This is called having a hollow nose.
