Per: Basketball Champions League
There’s nothing like adding an experienced player with a winning mentality to give a team an extra edge heading into a competition like a Basketball Champions League.
When Nanterre 92 signed Jamal Shuler after last season, they were getting that sort of player, a clutch performer who never ran from danger while on the books of AS Monaco but rather came to the rescue.
The club has made a wise investment because 31-year sharpshooter Shuler has been as reliable and inspirational as they’d hoped.
It’s games like the one in Avellino that Shuler loves to be a part of.
“It was a great atmosphere,” he said. “The fans were rowdy in the second half. They’re an excellent team both in the Champions League and the Italian league. This was a big confidence boost for us.”
With a win against Avellino Nanterre improved to a 6-3 record in the BCL.
