Two new faces were added officially to French champions Nanterre who can essentially be their new starting back court in Euroleague. American point guard Je’kel Foster (photo) and Ukrainian shooting guard Sergiy Gladyr signed for the upcoming season with the team. Foster played last season in the Top16 with Alba Berlin, while Gladyr spend his year in Spain with Fuenlabrada but he was also one of the stand outs of the Ukrainian national team in the recent Eurobasket.
In order to make room for the new signings, Nanterre cut shooting guard Travis Leslie who ended up signing with an other French club, ASVEL which is part owned by Tony Parker and will compete next season in Eurocup. ASVEL also announced the signing of point guard Chris Wright and cut Pierre Jackson, the 42nd overall pick of the latest NBA draft.
