Jonathan Augustin-FairellAugustin-Fairell
​Jonathan Augustin-Fairell is the newest player at Denain-Voltaire after signing with the French club November 20. Fairell started the season in France, playing for Cholet Basket in the Jeep Elite LNB Pro A league. In 7 games played, Fairell averaged 7.0 points and 4.7 rebounds per game. Denain-Voltaire could certainly use his help, as they are off to a 2-4 start in the LNB Pro B league, France's second division.

​Fairell is no stranger to the league, as he played the past two seasons. Last season with ADA Blois Basket 41, he averaged 11.9 points and 6.7 rebounds per game as he helped lead Blois Basket to first place and a promotion to LNB Pro A. He also played the 2016-2017 with Rouen Metropole Basket in the same league, putting up 14.5 points and 6.8 rebounds per game for the squad. This is Fairell's fourth year in pro basketball.

​Mitteldeutscher BC in Germany have added a veteran presence to their roster after signing 36-year-old guard Tremmell Darden, who started the season in the EuroMillions Basketball League in Belgium with Telenet Giants Antwerp. Darden has played in Europe for 15 years, lacing up his kicks for 13 teams in seven different countries. The Niagara product averaged 5.8 points per game off the bench for Antwerp last season, helping the team to an appearance in the finals of the EuroMillions League playoffs. He had and had yet to appear in a game for the team this season before signing with Mitteldeutscher, who could certainly use his help as the team is off to a disappointing 1-5 start in Basketball Bundesliga play.

Demitrius Conger is returning to Australia. The small forward signed with the Adelaide 36ers in the National Basketball League, joining the team after starting the season with Le Mans Sarthe Basket in France's LNB Pro A league. Conger will play in Australia again after spending a highly successful last season with the Illawarra Hawks, where he finished second in MVP voting after averaging 19.7 points nd 5.7 rebounds per game. On the heels of his success in Australia, he finished the 2017-2018 season with Divina Seguro Joventut in Liga Endesa in Spain, putting up 9.9 points per game in 13 games played.

​ “I like the professionalism of the league and the way Australia treats basketball more like an event. I feel Australians have a very good appreciation for basketball, which for me is pretty special," Conger told Sportando.Conger is a savvy veteran scoring presence that the 36ers are in sore need of at the moment after a paltry 2-7 start. The St. Bonaventure grad was averaging 10.1 points per game through all competitions for Le Mans, and will hope to replicate last seasons numbers to help turn the 36ers' season around.
