AS Monaco are making moves in the EuroLeague market. Per BasketNews sources, the Roca Team will acquire EuroLeague all-time assist leader Nick Calathes and retain their French guard Elie Okobo.
Nick Calathes, who played his last EuroLeague game for Fenerbahce BEKO Istanbul in Berlin, is set to join AS Monaco on a two-year agreement following the 2023-24 season.
A 35-year-old playmaker has averaged 7.2 points (52.7% 2P, 36.6% 3P), 4.2 rebounds, and 4.8 assists in less than 24 minutes per game this EuroLeague season.
He was instrumental in Fenerbahce’s win over Monaco in the five-game playoff series by guiding his team offensively and keeping Mike James below his MVP season numbers.
In the playoffs, Calathes has posted 11.8 points (50% 2P, 40% 3P), 4.8 rebounds, and 4.8 assists on average in 29 minutes of play.
Okobo, who was on an expiring contract with Monaco, is expected to stay with the team for two more years, sources tell BasketNews.
In the 2023-24 EuroLeague season, Okobo has averaged 11.0 points (49.2% 2P, 30.1% 3P), 2.6 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 10.2 PIR in less than 25 minutes per game.
Okobo averaged 12.4 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in the playoffs.
