AS Monaco began its training camp in the Italian town of Bornio over the weekend, with new signings Kemba Walker, Petr Cornelie and Mam Jaiteh all present. The club's fourth summer addition, Terry Tarpey, will join up with the squad at a later date as he is preparing to represent France at the 2023 FIBA World Cup, which is the same situation for French duo Elie Okobo and Yakuba Ouattara, as well as Lithuanian center Donatas Motiejunas.

Heading into its third season in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague, Monaco hopes to continue its upwards trajectory after making the playoffs in its debut campaign before reaching the Final Four last season. With the arrival of Walker garnishing a backcourt that already boasted Mike James, Okobo and Jordan Loyd, expectations are high for the French side heading into the new campaign.
EuroLeague fans have already started to ponder what sort of impact Walker could make in his rookie season, and the four-time NBA All-Star has shown glimpses of what he could bring in just a few social media clips, linking up with center Donta Hall for an alley-oop and getting some three-pointers up with Jaron Blossomgame and Matthew Strazel.
