FAQ About Marc-Owen Fodzo Dada
What is he walking into at Asvel?
A squad rebuilt almost entirely in three weeks. Tony Parker owns the club and coaches it, and in August alone Asvel added Jae Crowder, TyTy Washington, Tremont Waters and Myles Cale. David Lighty stayed on for an eleventh season.
Why does he have two nationalities listed?
FIBA records him as FRA and CIV, French and Ivorian. He came through the French system and has played for France at youth level, which is what the senior eligibility will most likely follow.
Is he actually going to the NBA?
He is on the NBA’s published list of 2026 draft prospects, which is a long list and not a promise. A season of EuroLeague minutes at 19 would do more for that than anything he did at Nancy.
