BCM Gravelines Atop French LNB Pro A Power Rankings

Jan 31, 2012 12:18 PM

BCM Gravelines has recently stumbled in Eurocup play, but they haven’t lost a domestic league game since Dec. 10th against JDA Dijon and hold a one game lead over Chalon in the standings. But in our Floor Impact Counter rankings, Andrew Albicy, Ludovic Vaty, Pape Sy and company have been significantly better than their counterparts.

Gravelines has an average point differential of 14.7 points, compared to less than seven for Malcolm Delaney, Blake Schilb and Alade Aminu’s Chalon squad.

ASVEL has remained about the same since Tony Parker returned to the NBA. Parker had 23 points, eight assists and five rebounds in his last game with the team, which was a win to put them back to .500 at 4-4. They beat STB Le Havre over the weekend to improve to 8-8.

For Nancy, the loss of Nicolas Batum has proved more significant. They were 7-1 during Batum’s final game before returning to the Blazers and now sit with a 12-4 record.   

Individually, Eric Chatfield is the league's leading scorer at 21.4 points per game, while Lamont Hamilton is the leader in rebounds at 8.3 per game and Kareem Reid averages 8.6 assists.

Vaty has the league's highest PER, while Taylor Rochestie has the highest season FIC.
