Rudy Gobert is a projected top-10 pick in the 2013 NBA Draft and wants to immediately play in the NBA.

Gobert is a center currently playing for Cholet where he is averaging 8.0 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.0 blocks in 19.6 minutes per game.

"I want to go the NBA next season," said Gobert. "I don't want to play another season in Europe. I know that it is going to be tough and that I need to add muscle. I don't care about the team, if I will be picked in the NBA draft in high position, I will have minutes on the court"

Blake Schilb of Elan Chalon-sur-Saone has been named Turkish Airlines Euroleague regular season Week 9 MVP.

Marcus Denmon broke the fifth metatarsal in his right foot in Chalon-Elan's season opener.

Chalon head coach Gregor Beugnot spoke on Denmon's injury and fears it is worse than expected.

"It is on the side of the foot on a metatarsal," said Beugnot. "I hope he has not broken his foot. He may have moved a metatarsal, or there is something. I hope there will be examinations fast."

Denmon was drafted by the Spurs in 2012.

Marcus Denmon is currently playing with French team Chalon-Elan, but is being monitored by the San Antonio Spurs.

"The Spurs also called last week," said Chalon coach Beugnot Gregor in Le Journal. "They are very sensitive to what is done with him. He is a real project for them. Marcus has already progressed in aggression, especially on pick and rolls. As a leader, it's starting to come. He begins to see the game, to focus on the weaknesses of the opponent. Over time, it will become natural. He still lacks that confidence."
