Career: Cholet (France-Pro A, 1996-2003), Le Havre (France-Pro A, 2003-04), Strasbourg (France-Pro A, 2004-06), Adecco ASVEL (France-Pro A, 2006-07).
For his first participation in the final round of a senior National Team competition, Aymeric Jeanneau did a very good job at the 2006 World Championship last summer in Japan. Even though he didn’t seem like a heavy favourite to make the team, the ASVEL point guard had to step up after Tony Parker's finger injury, 48 hours before the competition’s first game. Slowed down by a small injury, the left-handed playmaker helped a French National Team struggling on offense by his controlled game and a nice little touch from three-point range. He started basketball in Cholet, following in the footsteps of Antoine Rigaudeau. Jeanneau followed his youth team coach, Eric Girard, to Le Havre and Strasbourg. Aymeric won a silver medal with the U18 National Team in 1996, but was never a real option for the senior squad afterwards. That changed after a nice 2005-06 Euroleague season with Strasbourg. He has a good chance to make the team for EuroBasket 2007, since he balances the penetrating and scoring style of Parker.
