For the 9th day of EuroLeague, Paris faced Zalgiris Kaunas. They won 83-77.
T.J. Shorts* : 7/10
Once again the best player in Paris, but we’re used to it. He hands down wins the battle of the leaders in this match.
Maodo Lot: 3/10
A bit as usual this season, Maodo Lô does not make us dream. The leader is still having a little trouble establishing himself in the Parisian game. Too discreet this evening.
Nadir Hifi: 5.5/10
Not very brilliant in attack, he made defensive efforts, ran and also won his “Prince of Paris” duel against Sylvain Francisco, who was too clumsy at shooting.
Nadir Hifi recovered 5 rebounds, proof of his involvement in the team game.
Yakub Ouattara* : 4/10
Once again, a little too discreet tonight. In just under 15 minutes of play, we don’t remember any notable sequences from him.
Leopold Knight: 3.5/10
A bit hard to judge since he only played 10 minutes in this match. However, he makes 3 mistakes in such a short time, which is very penalizing.
Tyson Ward* : 6/10
Good stuff but a little below his standards. We’ve already seen him a little better but his match still remains interesting.
Collin Malcolm : 7/10
Very nice match from Collin Malcolm. A skilled shooter, he was unstoppable in attack. Without him, the match would probably have been lost.
Bandja Sy: 5.5/10
Several lost balls and quite a few mistakes, but the winger was intelligent. Good placements, important shots scored, desire, good will. Bandja Sy’s match is good but a few too many errors.
Mikael Jantunen* : 5.5/10
Good things, combativeness, but he too was below his standards.
Kevarrius Hayes* : 6/10
Despite some turnovers and several lost duels at the end of the match, the interior was dominant in the paint. Only the end of the match was a big downside.
Leon Scratch: 3.5/10
Like Leopold Cavaliere, Leon Kratzer didn’t play much. For him too, his 3 faults severely penalized his performance.
Tiago Splitter : 6,5/10
He surprises us again and again. We see it in the images, the players fully trust him and we understand why. Even when Zalgiris came back to score, he knew how to find the right words to make his players even stronger.
