At the beginning of Florent's career, not too many basketball experts were upbeat about his chances to become a good player. Nevertheless, with a great heart, unbelievable leaping ability and relentless defensive effort, he has proved everybody wrong. According to his various coaches, he is one of the best defensive players in Europe. The only problem is his unselfishness (and arguably a lack of size) which has hurt his playing time at various clubs. He may not have that many moves, but his quickness and desire enable him to get his fair share of "garbage" points -even if rarely as a starter. However, as far as the National Team goes, he has always stepped up. At the 2006 FIBA World Championship in Japan, he averaged 9.7 points and 6.7 rebounds per contest and he has remained productive with the national squad ever since.
