Le Mans completes roster with Zach Wright
|
 Le Mans became the first team to complete its roster for the upcoming Euroleague Qualifying Rounds by inking pass-first playmaker Zach Wright to a one-year deal, the club confirmed Thursday. Wright (188, 24) arrives from Chalon-Sur-Saone, where he averaged 11 points, 5.9 rebounds, 6.3 assists in 31 French League games last season, leading the competition in steals at 2.5 per night. Wright had previously played for Spot Up Medien Baskets Braunschweig, where he led the German second division in scoring (24.8 ppg.) and steals (3.5 spg.). He also played for the University of Central Missouri and the University of Arkansas Little Rock in the United States, where he played against Le Mans star guard Dee Spencer, who was in Arkansas St in 2004 and 2005. He helped Centenary to make it to the NCAA II Tournament final four in 2007 and win the MIAA Tournament title, earning MVP honors. "I expect him to offer defensive skills and creativity," head coach JD Jackson said. "He will give added value to other players, especially to our two scorers, Dee Spencer and Marc Salyers. He is still young for motivated to take the challenge."
