A swingman who will turn 33 years of age on Wednesday, Courby epitomizes what Bourg is all about this season with players doing their best in their respective roles while all 11 players who entered at least once this season average between 16 and 26 minutes.
Courby has played his role nearly to perfection. He is averaging 8.0 points per game, tied for fourth best on the team, but has missed only 4 shots combined in as many games.
While he made 77.8% of his two-point shots, tied for the 10th best this season, he has been knocking down long-range attempts more accurately than any other player this season. Courby has knocked down 6 of his 8 triples, tied for EuroCup-best 75.0%.
What that has also done is propel Courby into first place all-time in three-point accuracy, as he now has made 56.7% of his attempts from downtown in his career.
In this Group A derby, Courby will certainly try to keep his hand hot while he and his teammates will have their hands full against Bitim.
