14 PTS, 2.9 REB, 3.4 ASS, 1.9 TO, 2.6 STL, 18.1 +/-, 84.2% FT, 14/29 3FG, 57.1% 2FG in 23 MIN

The French guard from Dijon showed an extremely consistent performance throughout the tournament. His highlight was in the final against the surprise team from Israel, in which he contributed 23 points, 7 assists and 3 assists. The fully deserved MVP of the tournament has over-average athleticism by European standards and always found moments to put his stamp on the game. On the one hand he was one of the most aggressive defenders (2.6 STL – most in the tournament) with strong anticipation to destroy passing lanes, on the other hand he possesses a good and quick first step coupled with good range, even partly NBA range.

He has taken special development in playmaking since he managed to dictate the tempo most of the time. His 5 turnovers in the finals were a negative outlier, while in the 6 games before he committed only 1.3 TO on average.

Usually played in the off-ball or in the secondary creator role. Had some nice sequences on both ends of the floor when he used his athleticism and length well to make the correct play. Was accurate in his spot up shots throughout the tournament. Offers versatility on both ends but looks more like a good team/rotation player than someone that could be the main guy in his team.
