Career

De Colo moved in 2002 from his home region in northern France, Nord-Pas-de-Calais, to the training program of the basketball club from Cholet in western France in the Pays de la Loire region . 2006, the new took Turkish-born coach Erman Kunter the 19-year-old de Colo firmly into the rotation of the first team in the top French league LNB Pro A . As early as 2008 as a 20-year-old, he was elected MVP for the main round, the French All-Star Games and the Semaine de As league cup . He was able to win the league cup with his teammates and in the French cup competition Coupe de France they reached the final. In the following season he reached the final of the EuroChallenge with Cholet Basket , which was just lost with two points against the Italian hosts Virtus Bologna . After a furious race to catch up in the final minutes, de Colo, as the top scorer of the final, missed the opportunity to be tied in the final seconds of the game. After he was selected by the San Antonio Spurs in the 2009 NBA Draft , he moved to Spain to Power Electronics from Valencia for the 2009/10 season . His national team colleague Florent Piétrus was already under contract with the club , with whom he subsequently played. With the club from Valencia, de Colo won the Eurocup, which is more prestigious than the EuroChallenge, in the final against the German representative Alba Berlin and was selected as the best player in the point guard position in the Eurocup first team of that season. In the national Spanish championship they were eliminated in both 2010 and 2011 in the first play-off round against teams that were worse placed after the main round, in the Spanish cup competition Copa del Rey they reached the semi-finals. As the previous season's Eurocup winner, they started in the ULEB Euroleague 2010/11 and were eliminated in just under five games against national rivals Real Madrid in the quarter-finals .

De Colo signed a contract with the San Antonio Spurs that summer . In his first season in the NBA, he reached the finals series with the Texans. There his Spurs lost 4-2 in the best-of-seven series against the Miami Heat . In 2014 he was given to the Toronto Raptors in exchange for Austin Daye . As before in San Antonio, the Frenchman did not get beyond the role as a supplementary player for the Canadian team. In 2014 he left the North American league after 125 NBA appearances.

From July 2014 de Colo was under contract with the Russian top team CSKA Moscow . With CSKA, the French became Russian champions in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. In 2016 and 2019 they also won the EuroLeague. De Colo was named the best player in the main round of the Russian league in 2015, 2016 and 2018, as well as the main round and the final tournament of the EuroLeague in 2016. In a report by the EuroLeague on the occasion of the announcement of his departure from Moscow in June 2019, de Colo's time at CSKA was classified as an "unforgettable era". De Colo recorded his best points average in the main round of the Russian league in the 2016/17 game year, when he scored an average of 17.3 points per match. In the EuroLeague he achieved his highest values ​​in Moscow's colors in the 2015/16 season, when he posted an average of 19.4 points per game.

During the summer break of 2019, he signed a contract with the top Turkish club Fenerbahçe Istanbul .

National team

With the national team, de Colo missed 2008 in the first qualifying round participation for the finals of the 2009 European Championships in Poland . In an additional qualifying round in August 2009, the qualification finally succeeded. In the final round they remained undefeated in the preliminary and intermediate rounds, with Greece defeating Greece with two points in the last intermediate round game with a game-winning basket win from de Colo, although the French national coach Vincent Collet had given his starting five many breaks. This success turned out to be deceptive, because it made it clear that one had to compete in the quarter-finals against the poorly started world champion and later European champion Spain . De Colo became a tragic figure when they actually lost this quarter-final game, which meant the only defeat for the French in the entire tournament. Although one had won the most games of all participating teams in the event of a defeat, in the end one could only come in fifth.

At the 2010 World Cup they won in the preliminary round against defending champions Spain in the first group game and celebrated a small revenge. After two more wins in the group stage, however, they lost the following three games, including the round of 16 against the hosts and later runner-up world champions Turkey , and were eliminated from the tournament early. At the EM 2011 they were again inferior to the Spaniards in the second round. Otherwise they remained victorious until the final, which meant qualifying for the 2012 Olympic Games in London . The final itself was lost again to defending champions Spain.

In 2013 he became European champion with France. De Colo scored an average of 7.4 points per match on the way to European Championship gold in eleven tournament games. In 2015 he won the bronze medal with the French national team at the European Championships, in 2016 he was part of France's squad for the Olympic Games and was sixth with the team.

At the 2019 World Cup in China, de Colo was the second best scorer of the French, with whom he won bronze, with 16.5 points per encounter.
