Sylvain Francisco explained his decision to continue his career with ASVEL Villeurbanne. In an interview with Be Basket, relayed by SPORT24, the French guard revealed that five teams had made him the same financial offer.<\/p>\n

\u201cFive teams had made me the same offer and were willing to wait until July 20, when my NBA clause expires,\u201d Francisco said. However, the project in France was more attractive to him: leading a French team, chasing a EuroLeague Final Four and maybe even dreaming of winning the competition.<\/p>\n

Francisco also made clear that the NBA dream is still alive: \u201cIf that clause is in my contract, it is there for a reason. I still have the goal of playing in the NBA.\u201d The July 20 deadline will clarify his future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
