Panathinaikos Athens reached a new agreement with big man Stephane Lasme to keep working together until the end of the 2014-15 season, the club announced Monday. Lasme (2.03 meters, 31 years old) averaged 10 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.9 blocks in 28 Turkish Airlines Euroleague games last season.
He was voted the Best Defender Trophy winners by Euroleague head coaches this season and helped Panathinaikos to win the Greek double — league and cup titles. After showing great promise as a teenager in Gabon, Lasme chose to play college basketball at the University of Massachusetts, where he was twice named the Atlantic 10 Conference Defensive Player of the Year. Lasme played for different clubs in the United States, both in the NBA and the NBA Development League, during the 2007-08 season. He first came to Europe to play for Partizan Belgrade the following season and then spent his second Euroleague campaign with Maccabi Electra in Israel. In both seasons he led his club to double titles in the domestic leagues and national cups. Lasme played for Obradoiro CAB in Spain before moving to Athens last season, fitting in right away. He ranked second in the Euroleague in blocks and was tied for fourth in rebounding. Moreover, Lasme was the final line of defense for a rebuilt Panathinaikos squad, which finished the Turkish Airlines Euroleague season with the second-fewest points allowed, 69.8 per game.
