Just curious, can someone from the B league win MVP?

Wouldn't there be a B league Mvp?

[TJThompson]

Big win against Boulazac 78-67. What an amazing season for HTV and Davante .. 16/18 team concerning payroll, youngest team ..
Leader to B League with 11 win / 1 lose. First in ranking . The second in ranking has 9 win ..

Davante was great with 22 points - 7 rebounds. Already considerated like the best center of the league by fans. It's easy, for the moment, anybody can stop Davante and his team. So serious, diligent ..

Good question.

TJ, does the B league have its own MVP?  If there is, then based on your (much-appreciated) updates, it seems like Davante is the runaway candidate.

Naturally, there is a MVP for the B League and of course, Davante is a serious candidate. Very impressed by this player and he capitalizes on a surprising team, with an excellent coach.

Davante has a small buyout in his contract enabling it to join a A League team everywhere in Europe, this season. But i hope that you can maintain him in our squad .. it's his own interest to stay here, he can win MVP title and win title with HTV

TJT, wonderful news about The Ox.

Has "Automatic" caught on?

Always.. Never worried when Davante is in free throw line .

I spoke with Davante during a meeting with players/fan. I told him that i joined a Marquette bord and about " the Automatic story ". He had to say that Automatic chant will follow him overseas ! lol

I agree with you . It is in his interest to stay and win title. Then hopefully HTV moves up to A League.

Thanks for the updates TJ! It is always exciting to hear news on Davante. I am jealous you get to see him play.

joyeux noël !!!

[TJThompson]

3 games for my last update . 2 losses and 1 win

14 points ( 6/9 ) - 5 rebounds in 22 minutes
18 points ( 7/8 ) - 8 rebounds in 22 minutes
15 points ( 7/10 ) - 5 rebounds in 30 minutes

Now it's time to the break, HTV first place in ranking for this first part of this season. Davante is back to USA until 15th-20th. Next Game, January 20th.

Happy new year !

So how many teams get promoted to the top level each year?  Is it based entirely on standings, or are there playoffs involved?

The B League is very complicated concerning rules. Composed by 18 teams, the first at the end of the season can play to A League next year.
On 2-9, we have playoffs with field advantage.
Teams 17th-18th, will play to C League ( Nationale 1 )

An other ticket is given to the team which won Leader's Cup ( competition different to the championship with 3 groups of 6 teams, based on team location like a conference in NBA ).
But in this competition, HTV was eliminated a long time ago .

HTV was amazing during this first part of season. Can imagine to play to the A League .. Huge for the youngest team of the league which the only objective is to stay to B League ..

OK thank you.    BTW, this looks like a gorgeous area of France so I hope that Davante is taking the time to do a little exploration in his off hours.

Hello everyone ,

No games during 21 days and a new win for the beginning of the second part of this season vs Evreux ( 77-64 ).
Davante played against old NCAA opponent Eugene Teague from Seton Hall.

12 points ( 3/8 and 6/8 on free throw line ) - 5 rebounds  in 28 min

13/3 HTV !

[TJThompson]

Great win against 4th opponent. 68-58. Still first on ranking 14/3 .
Referees are bad in B League but essentially in France in general, really, from both directions..

Davante played great with 20 points ( 9/13 ) - 12 rebounds with 28 of evaluation
MVP of the game.

Youngest team dominate B League §

[TJThompson]

I was impressed by Davante's defense. Not only an offensive player. Never let an easy basket. Just 13 points added for 3 Denain's forward and he blocked two shots

[g0lden3agle]

Thanks!  Keep the updates coming!

[Slim]

Maybe DWade can get those fellas a shoe contract!

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

Not a bad crowd.

Love your posts TJ!
