After a stellar, albeit shortened, season in England that saw Parker Jackson-Cartwright be named the British Basketball League Player of the Year, the former Arizona Wildcats point guard is leaving the Cheshire Phoenix to play for Saint-Quentin in France.

Saint-Quentin plays in the LNB Pro B, the second-best men’s league in France.
