Point Guard Nick Weiler-Babb Joins Villeurbanne for 2026/2027 Season

Villeurbanne is preparing for a strong 2026/2027 season with significant roster additions. After announcing the signing of Silvère Francisco, the French club secured American point guard Nick Weiler-Babb, who left Anadolu Efes to join the team. Last season with Anadolu Efes, Weiler-Babb averaged 7.7 points, 4.8 assists, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.2 steals per EuroLeague game, though the team underperformed overall. Previously, he had a standout tenure with Bayern Munich, where he was named EuroLeague Defensive Player of the Year in the 2024/2025 season, which led to his move to Turkey. He has now signed a two-year contract with Villeurbanne.

Villeurbanne’s general manager Tony Parker is also targeting other key signings, including center Daniel Theis from Monaco and guard Armoni Brooks from Milan. Meanwhile, Valencia announced that Cameron Taylor extended his contract until 2028, reportedly the highest in the club’s history, though financial details were not disclosed. Taylor joined Valencia last summer after two successful years with Malaga and averaged 11.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 2 assists per game in the EuroLeague last season.
