Trained by JL Bourg-en-Bresse, the leader from Rueil should make his return to LNB, in Nantes, in Pro B.
Nantes has its new leader for next season. According to our information, Elian Benitez(1m80, 21 years old) should leave Rueil and sign for Nantes.
The NBH should do a major cleaning. If Laurent Pluvythe coach, has extended for two additional seasons, all the players on the squad are reaching the end of their contract except Jules Gibey. However, nothing is yet certain about the idea that the young full-back will stay at the club next season.
To open this new chapter in Pro B, Nantes therefore decided to first recruit the little brother ofHugo Benitez.
Top scorer in the Espoirs Elite championship (21.8 points) last season with JL Bourg, Elian signed up for N1 with Rueil to benefit from his first major professional experience.
Combining 15.1 points, 2.4 rebounds and 7.7 assists for 16.8 rating, he continues his rise. He will lead a Pro B team next season.
