The Élan Béarnais squad is taking shape just one month before the resumption of the championship. After the leader Michael Stockton, his compatriot Garrett Sim joins Élan Béarnais to form the pair of outside players. The 32-year-old, 1m86, played last season in Turkish D2 in Istanbul, after having already spent six seasons in France, mainly in Bourg-en-Bresse, but also in Boulogne-sur-Mer before, and in Chalon- then sur-Saône. Reliable shooter, it turns at more than 39% three-point skill for more than 12 points per game in his six seasons in France.
The reaction of coach Eric Bartecheky
Eric Bartecheky, for the club, commented on the arrival of his new full-back: “Garrett Sim has a very complementary profile to that of playmaker Michael Stockton. He is a second back, capable of giving a few minutes to the lead, who also knows our championship perfectly. He has a real arm, he is above all a shooter who can use the pick and roll well.“
