ASVEL Lyon-Villeurbanne added young prospect Theo Maledon to the roster. This is the 17-year-old’s first professional contract and it will bind him to the French team for three years.
One of the most promising young players of his generation, point guard Theo Maledon, is staying put with ASVEL Villeurbanne for the first three years of his pro career, the club announced Monday. Maledon (1.92 meters, 17 years old) already made his 7DAYS EuroCup and French League debuts last season at age 16.
