Luc Louves ('89) is in the list. The french forward declared early-entry for this NBA Draft, but not many people knows where is he actually. The group of prospects from France in the same list is huge: Andrew Albicy ('90), Sarra Camara ('89), Antoine Diot ('89), Bangaly Fofana ('89),... All of them are playing in their home-country. Not Louves. He hasn't played this season. He hasn't been in France either. The forward has spent all the year in Guadeloupe, in the Antilles Islands.

 

Due to familiy reasons the player has been in the Caribbean, practicing himself. But two weeks ago he moved up to Los Angeles (USA), declaring for the NBA Draft. Eurohopes contacted him: "Now I am practicing twice a day, and let's see what chances I'll have. Go back to France is an option for next season". Will we see him in the Adidas Eurocamp of Treviso next June? "Maybe, don't know yet", added the player.

 

Louves played with INSEP when he was U-18, and after went to Orleans during two seasons, combining the Pro-A team with the U-21 squad. Last two summers he has been practicing in USA also.
