French Forward's College Stint Fuels Pro Rise in France
Maël Hamon-Crespin, a 6'9" French forward from Washington State, posted modest NCAA stats (3.0 PTS, 0.6 REB, 40% FG in his season), but exploded professionally in France's ProB—averaging 10.3 PTS and 3.9 REB (10.1 efficiency) last season with Saint-Chamond, including a 35-evaluation monster game vs. Caen. Now on loan to Chalons-Reims in 2025-26 (12.7 PTS, 3.9 REB in Elite 2), this U20 Euro champ brings athleticism, rebounding tenacity, and international pedigree. A high-upside prospect for teams seeking raw talent with proven scoring punch beyond college numbers.
