While ASVEL is in trouble this season, the Villeurbannais leaders have decided to bolster their workforce with the imminent arrival of Dee Bost.
ASVEL does not intend to sink without reacting. Had made possible a revival at the beginning of December with six wins in seven games, the Rhône club has now fallen back on its failures. This Wednesday, on the occasion of the reception of FC Barcelona, the Villeurbannais admitted a fourth consecutive defeat in all competitions, but also the fourth in a row on the continental stage. Pushed back to sixth place in Betclic Elite, ASVEL is now last in the Euroleague. A delicate sporting situation that will prompt the leaders of the Rhône club, the chairman Tony Parker in the front line, to react. This will be done through strengthening the workforce with an element of experience. Indeed, according to daily information The team, Dee Bost will soon join ASVEL after playing under the colors of Galatasaray since the summer of 2021. Although no agreement could be reached a few weeks ago, the situation has visibly changed.

The arrival of Dee Bost at ASVEL means a return to France for the American leader. Indeed, the Charlotte native, after launching his career as a globetrotter, made a first visit to Monaco during the 2016-2017 season, with a victory in the Leaders Cup, before donning Strasbourg’s colors a year later. After a few months in Khimki Moscow, Dee Bost returned to the principality. Just over two seasons in which he participated in the Monegasque success in the Eurocup, which had opened the doors of the Euroleague for ASM. On this occasion, he also failed in the final of the Betclic Elite against his new team, ASVEL. Dee Bost will thus strengthen a position for which Parker Cartwright-Jackson and Antoine Diot, or even Nando de Colo, do not provide all necessary guarantees to TJ Parker’s personnel.
