After announcing the departure of Laurent Vila at the end of the season, Cholet this time records an arrival, that of the American-Samoan winger Samuta Avea (25 years old), medical freelancer for Gérald Ayayi. A recruit of choice, since the player averaged 16.5 points and 8 rebounds in the BNXT League (Belgian and Dutch League).
“Samuta is a player who has real offensive qualities. He really has the ease to master the game in the BNXT League, with responsibilities and a good 3-point percentage (37.9%). He is a very good rebounder who has the physicality to defend well and who has a good mentality,” declared Laurent Vila. His presence in Nancy on Saturday is uncertain, even if the club is “now doing its utmost to ensure that he is qualified”.
