    Marcellus Sommerville changes teams for postseason

    Marcellus Sommerville finished the season out of the playoffs with Angers BC 49, of the French Pro B league. He was their leading scorer.
    But he signed a new contract with a team in the higher French Pro A League. He now plays for Chalon/Sa????ne, and helped them win their opening playoff game against LeMans. He scored 9 points and had 4 rebounds in his debut.

    LE MANS, France ? Former Bradley men's basketball star Marcellus Sommerville made his professional postseason debut Tuesday by helping Chalon/Sa?ne to a 73-62 victory at Le Mans in the first round of the French National Basketball League (LNB) Pro A Division playoffs.? Sommerville, who recently signed with Chalon/Sa?ne for the playoffs after completing his rookie season in the Pro B Division with Angers BC 49, contributed nine points and four rebounds in Tuesday's opening-round game.? He sank 2-of-3 attempts from 3-point range and his three offensive boards led the team in his 20-minute debut.? The teams will resume their series Thursday at Chalon/Sa?ne.

    Having watched Cellus for many years, I think he could be a VERY good player in the NBA if someone would just give him a chance. A high flyer, a high % shooter who can hit the 3 and a free throw, drive the lane, and draw a foul. Why has the NBA not picked up on him?

      That's the question that hundreds of former NCAA players in Europe wonder. How else can you explain all the kids willing to toil in obscurity in the NBDL and ABA for very little money. They are all hoping to make a name for themselves and get a shot at the NBA. Cellus was probably a 3rd round pick in last year's NBA draft. But unfortunately, they only go 2 rounds. With all the early entries and Europlayers, there are a lot of good players who go undrafted.
      This is a definite move upward for Cellus, and it shows that the European scouts are watching him. Maybe he can earn a good living like Anthony Parker did, or even get a shot at the NBA some day.

        Nice comments about Cellus. He has a couple problems that keep him on the outside looking in. His hands are not that good and he has trouble handling and catching the ball especially in traffic. Also, sometimes Cellus can become a little indecisive with the ball which can cause quite a few problems (turnovers, blocked shots, etc.) He was a great player and I hope he can work on these problems and make millions! I always thought Anthony Parker's slow (heavy) feet would keep him out of the NBA and I was wrong, so I hope I am wrong again!
