Hey there! The MHP Riesen Ludwigsburg got themselves a cool new player for the upcoming season. Point guard Stefan Smith, a standout for Cholet Basket in France, is departing his French top-tier club to join the Neckar ranks. At just 25, he's the third import player signed for the new season and has inked a one-year deal.
Smith was a crowd favorite and a game-changer for Cholet Basket last season. The Canadian-Jamaican played in 51 games, averaging 11.7 points, 2.3 assists, and 2.3 rebounds across all competitions. His performance was instrumental in Cholet's solid fourth-place finish domestically, trailing behind Paris, Lyon, and Monaco, and their impressive run to the semi-finals of the FIBA Europe Cup, securing a coveted spot in the Basketball Champions League.
Although details about Smith's specific impact on Cholet Basket's 2021 season in the French LNB Pro A and the FIBA Europe Cup aren't easily found, it's evident that he made a significant impact as a guard for the team. His continued presence on Cholet Basket's roster across multiple seasons (including 2024-25) indicates his value as a player for the team.
However, to get a more precise picture of his individual statistics (points per game, assists, defensive contributions) and the extent of his impact during the FIBA Europe Cup matches, we may need to dive deeper into the official statistics from French LNB Pro A or FIBA Europe Cup archives. But for now, it's safe to say that Stefan Smith proved his worth on Cholet Basket, and we're excited to see what he brings to the MHP Riesen Ludwigsburg!
In his impressive stint with Cholet Basket, Stefan Smith demonstrated his versatility as a guard, excelling in sports like basketball. As a result, the NBA seemingly has a new target for potential recruitment, acknowledging his exceptional talents and performance across different competitions.
