Cooper’s win in the voting was more than impressive, after being the first player in the French league since Pierre Bressant (14.5 asp in 1988-89) to dish more than 10 assists per game.
To be exact, he had 11.1 assists per average and now it remains to be seen what he can do in the quarter-finals of the playoffs against Strasbourg which has the French national team coach Vincent Collet on its bench.
