Artisan of the first medal obtained by the French youth teams last summerthe bronze obtained by the U18s at the Euro, Manon Simplot (1.64 m, 18 years old) continues her season in LF2. After starting with Champagne Basket Féminin, the young leader joined STB Le Havre Féminin, to get more playing time.
Considered a developing prospect in her generation, Manon Simplot left Pôle France last May after a discreet last season (2.3 points, 2.6 rebounds and 3 assists in 19 minutes on average). Her potential nevertheless did not escape Champagne Basket, who hired her upon leaving INSEP.

The young point guard had a busy summer, first being invited to the NBA and WNBA’s “Basketball Without Borders” international talent camp. She then participated in the Bleuettes’ U18 European campaign, with just under 2 points, 3.1 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game in the wake of the phenomenon Alicia Tournebize.
His return to the club was then like his last season: discreet. Indeed, Manon Simplot did not play more than five minutes per match at Châlons-Reims; too little to produce regular stats. After she asked to be released by the Pétillantes, STB Le Havre looked into her subject, and already gave her an important role for her first LF2 match in Normandy.
Thus, Manon Simplot scored 9 points and added 1 rebound and 1 interception for this Le Havre debut in 31 minutes, more points than in her eight LF2 matches in Champagne (2). She must now confirm that her season is finally launched at STB, where we obviously intend to rely on « his youth, his dynamism and his dexterity« .
