Adrien Moerman, a 38-year-old French basketball player and double EuroLeague champion, has joined the Swiss team Fribourg Olympic and has made a strong start to his new season. Moerman arrived at the team just days before the season began and has quickly adapted to his new surroundings. In his first game against Neuchâtel, he scored 9 points and pulled down 12 rebounds. His performance improved in his second match, against the Lions de Genève, where he scored 27 points on 10-of-17 shooting, including 6-of-9 from three-point range, and added 11 rebounds. His total evaluation score for the game was 27 points in 32 minutes. His young French teammate Izan Le Meut also contributed, scoring 2 points, grabbing 4 rebounds, and blocking 2 shots in 8 minutes of play.
Fribourg Olympic faced its first loss of the season in the SB League when it fell to the Lions de Genève 71-64. The team had previously defeated Neuchâtel 75-68 and had a narrow victory over Monthey-Chablais 78-73, despite losing a 15-point lead in the final quarter. Fribourg Olympic has undergone significant changes to its roster during the off-season and has also been affected by several injuries, indicating that the team still has work to do to maintain its status as defending champions.
Moerman's strong performances have confirmed his successful integration into the team. He signed with Fribourg Olympic on September 22, and his contract is set to expire on December 23. The team will begin its campaign in the FIBA Europe Cup this Wednesday, facing the Romanian team from Oradea.
In other SB League matches, Enzo Oudart, who was loaned from Aix-Maurienne, and Davi Davis, who previously played for Rouen, both had notable individual performances despite their team's defeat by Monthey-Chablais at Pully-Lausanne (94-80). The team led by Arnaud Ricoux has yet to secure a win in the Swiss championship after three games.
