2006-07 FRENCH LEAGUE PREVIEW
The French League had a new champion in Le Mans, which upset Adecco Asvel and Pau-Orthez in the elimination rounds best-of-three playoffs to beat Nancy in the single-game title game. The competition system, in which the top 12 teams at the end of the regular season reached the playoffs, allows many teams to upset the so-called favourites in a thrilling way. The competition should be high, too, even when Le Mans improved its roster with the arrival of Sandro Nicevic, Nebojsa Bogavac or Frederic Adjiwanou, who will join forces with Kenny Gregory, Eric Campbell, Alain Koffi or Yannick Bokolo in a very athletic lineup. Pau-Orthez won the regular season last year and is now with renewed ambitions two years after lifting its last trophy. Pau landed Ricardo Greer, John Gilchrist or Britton Johnsen, as well as top prospect Ian Mahinmi. They will join forces with C.C. Harrison, Xane D'Almeida or Thierry Rupert. Strasbourg is ready to shock everyone like it did in 2005 with a brand new roster featuring Lonnie Cooper, Mike Smith, Chuck Eidson, Gauthier Darrigand or Afik Nissim, back in the team after a season elsewhere. Nancy will be one of the teams to follow, as it made it to the French League final in each of the last two seasons. Nancy kept Maxime Zianveni, Tariq Kirksay, Cyril Julian or Dan McClintock, as well as signing Cedrick Banks, Ricky Soliver or John Linehan to build up a highly-competitive roster. Gravelines has a strong starting five with Patch Morlende, Rickey Paulding, Dainius Adomaitis, Rahshon Turner and Uche Nsonwu, while Asvel will try to get back to its glory days earlier this decade with Amara Sy and newcomers Brian Greene, Rowan Barrett, Aymeric Jeanneau or Laurent Foirest. Chalon, featuring John Best, Jermaine Guice and Mamoutou Diarra or Dijon, now with Laurent Sciarra, Mario Bennett and T.J. Lux, may well become the surprising teams of the season.
