In a match observed by eight NBA scouts, JDA Dijon’s young team, coached by Elise Prod’homme (soon to be coach of JA Vichy), found themselves trailing for the first half. However, they managed to pull ahead by halftime with a score of 37-36, largely due to the strong performance of the duo Mervyn Muamba and Tom Audry, who together scored 22 points.
In the second half, JDA Dijon asserted their control over the game, setting their own tempo. Mervyn Muamba was instrumental in this shift, finishing the game with 20 points, 12 rebounds, and an evaluation of 23. Having been a standout player throughout the three-day tournament, Muamba was deservedly named the MVP of the Trophée du Futur. His overall tournament averages were impressive, with 17 points, 10.7 rebounds, and an evaluation of 20 per game.
