Paris is always a good idea, isn’t it? That’s what both Tuomas Iisalo and T.J. Shorts must have thought entering the 2023-24 season, opening a new chapter of their basketball lives after long and profitable years in Germany. They are already making an impact as Paris Basket has won its first two games in regular season Group A of the BKT EuroCup with Shorts as its go-to star.
The head coach, after his shooting guard career ended in his native Finland, coached in Germany with Crailsheim Merlins from 2016 to 2021. As Iisalo left to take over the bench at Telekom Baskets Bonn, Shorts arrived in Crailsheim after single seasons in Latvia with Ventspils and with Hamburg Towers.
