Along with Sylvain Francisco, Moustapha Fall, Thomas Heurtel and Terry Tarpey, Timothé Luwawu-Cabarrot is one of the notable absentees from the expanded list of Vincent Collet for the next Olympic Games.
Nevertheless, since his mea culpa in December and his return to French team of February, we imagined “TLC” managing to find a place in its coach’s group. Wrongly…
“ I was a little surprised, a little disappointed… Very disappointed » recognized this weekend the ASVEL winger, in comments obtained by our colleagues from BeBasket. “ I think it was the biggest disappointment of my life, of my career. But that’s how it is, that’s life, that’s basketball. It's not one of the things I control. I can just control what I do on the pitch. »
“ We don't make a selection by taking all the best »
On the side of Vincent Collet, at a press conference we justified this absence of Timothé Luwawu-Cabarrot by “ a choice of complementarity, role » but also because “ he would not have been one of the leaders ” of the group.
However, the 29-year-old was part of the French squad during the last Tokyo Olympics, and he was even good there, before missing out on Eurobasket 2022 and not participating in the 2023 World Cup.
“ He's a shooting winger, a relatively well-stocked position today with Evan Fournier, who has the same profile. You can add Nicolas Batum, who also plays in this position, and Bilal Coulibaly, who given his size has a real ability to play 3. So I couldn't see myself taking him. This is why we made this decision. He's an excellent player, but you don't make a selection by taking all the best » detailed the coach of the Blues.
