Clarence Nadolny being courted, Élan Chalon in pole position?

Betclic ÉLITE - Excellent for two years with Rouen, Clarence Nadolny could finally make the step up to Betclic ÉLITE. Élan Chalon is among the frontrunners.

Already approached by several Betclic ELITE clubs in 2024, Clarence Nadolny (1.92m, 24 years) nearly joined ESSM Le Portel. Eventually, the Montreuil native stayed in Rouen, in Pro B. But this summer, the combo guard should make the move to the French first division. Several clubs have shown interest, particularly at the highest national level. Among them, Élan Chalon has serious arguments to bring him in according to our information. He would notably be paired with point guard Matheo Leray (1.90m, 22 years), whose arrival is expected.

A very aggressive guard on both ends of the court, athletic, capable of catching fire from behind the arc, this former defensive specialist from Texas Tech University is becoming increasingly well-rounded. This season, he’s averaging 13.6 points on 41.5% shooting (including 32.4% from 3-point range), 2.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists in less than 25 minutes after 24 games played. Under Elric Delord’s leadership, the former Andrézieux player could form a locally trained players (JFL) duo of the same generation with Yohan Choupas (1.93m, 25 years). The latter has a second year on his contract.

In the backcourt, the potential arrival of Clarence Nadolny shouldn’t overshadow another combo-guard, young Akram Naji (1.93m, 18 years). Indeed, Élan Chalon is strongly considering loaning out their young point guard/shooting guard, so he can benefit from more responsibilities.
