At the 2007 Nike Hoops Summit he was one of the most impressive players on the floor and appeared to be a sure fire lottery pick. However, he decided to pull out of the 2007 Draft because he would have more playing time for Le Mans in the 2007-2008 season than he would in the NBA. In the 2007 U-19 World Championship, he led France with 18 points (while adding 4 rebounds, 3 assists & 2 steals) as they almost pulled off the upset over the US in the quarterfinals. </font></p>
