What do Rodrigue Beaubois, Antoine Rigaudeau and Mickael Gelabale have in common?
What do Rodrigue Beaubois, Antoine Rigaudeau and Mickael Gelabale have in common?
They are all French and were once on a Mavs roster? Yes, but that was too easy, and so was Tariq Abdul Wahad. What this three amazing players have in common is that they were all discovered and trained when they were teenagers by Cholet Basket, the team where they also signed their first professional contract.
Mavs fans, don't be scared! I know Rigaudeau's experience was clearly not a succes. You will probably not have the same souvenir than me, but Rigaudeau was a wonderful player who dominated Europe during his time, shooting 44% behind the line in his entire career. I wish he had played in the NBA at a youger age.
So don't worry, it does not mean Beaubois and Gelabale's experience with the Mavs will not be a success!
Gelabale is a very athletic players, who does not force his shoots, and only shoots when in a good position. Although, I love this kind of players who do not try to show off, I think it has been his problem with the Sonics in the past. On a bad team, as a 2nd round rookie, you have to show yourself, and force your game to gain minutes on the court. On a good team like Dallas, Gelabale can be the Factor X, like Pietrus was with the Magics during the Playoffs. I think he is going to dominate this summer league.
I have honestly never been a big Mavs fan, but if 2 players from my home town joins the next season team, I am gonna buy your entire franchise shop!

Sorry for the presentation
I can’t figure out how to center the images. If someone knows, that would be helpful.
No comments? Not even some angry ones?
I just wanted bring your attention to this funny coincidence. Anyway, I wish the best to the Mavs and their 2 Cholet Basket players.
PS: Does anyone know if the summer league will be on TV?

"La première partie de saison j'ai pas mal joué mais, très vite, sans explications, je suis resté sur le banc.
Je me suis posé beaucoup de questions, j'ai commencé à cogiter avant de me dire que je devais prendre ce qu'on me donnait sans chercher à trop comprendre. "

"The first part of the season I have not played badly but very quickly, without explanation, I stayed on the bench.
I asked [myself] many questions, I began to cogitate before telling me that I had to take what they gave me without trying to understand too."
