French point guard Matthew Strazel is joining AS Monaco Basket on a three-year deal, the club stated via an official statement. The 19-year-old guard player becomes the fifth new addition by Monaco in the offseason.

Strazel averaged 3.4 points and 1.9 assists in 15:16 minutes over 30 EuroLeague games with ASVEL in 2021-22, while posting 5.8 points and 2.4 assists in 18.5 minutes over 31 matches of the French Jeep Elite League.

ASVEL prevailed over AS Monaco in the French Pro A finals beating the Monegasques 3-2 after going down 2-1. After three seasons in ASVEL, the promising guard move to the Roca Team.

โ€œThis was without a doubt the most hotly contested series I have ever played. Last year we were champions, but in a format complicated by the fact that it was a match,โ€ Strazel said on the series vs Monaco.

โ€œFor my first real playoffs, it was a series of extreme intensity between two teams who never wanted to let go.โ€

Strazel declared his name for the 2022 NBA Draft but later withdrew from the event this past June. He is a French Cup winner in 2021 and helped ASVEL win LNB Pro A titles twice (2021, 2022).

โ€œI am going to new horizons. I set myself other goals, try to bring everything I can give on the pitch.ย And do everything to win the title, this time with the Roca Team,โ€ the swift point guard said.

โ€œI want to continue to gain experience. Discovering a new team with bigger ambitions in the Euroleague, it can only forge me a little more.โ€
