Frank Hassell will once again play in France this season after signing a one-year contract with Cholet Basket in the LNB Pro A. Hassell spent last season with ESSM Le Portel, where he averaged 14.1 points and 8.1 rebounds per games across all competitions, including the FIBA Europe Cup, as Le Portel finished with a 16-18 record domestically, missing the Pro A playoffs.
The big man will join a Cholet team that will be looking to rebound from a similarly poor season, as they went 14-20 in Pro A play and also missed out on the league playoffs. They could certainly use Hassell in the immediate future, as the team has started 0-3 in league play. Hassell's contract also contains an option for a midseason out. |
