French Basketball Teams Asvel and Monaco Bolster Rosters with International Talent

The same slogan now agitates the summer on the banks of the Rhône as in the Principality: rearm French before attacking the Euroleague. In two years, Asvel has repatriated Nando De Colo, Joffrey Lauvergne and Timothé Luwawu-Cabarrot, exiled for many seasons abroad. Not to be outdone, Monaco stole Élie Okobo from its Rhone rival in July 2022 before attracting three internationals into its net this summer: Petr Cornelie, Mouhammadou Jaiteh and Terry Tarpey. “We want to show that our team is competitive enough to attract this type of player, internationals who previously played in the NBA or in the best Euroleague teams,” said general manager Oleksiy Yefimov at the start of the season.
