While he will play alongside a French player next year in the person of Bilal Coulibaly, Kyle Kuzma is increasingly looking to France. All the more so after a very promising young French basketball player sent him an ultra-cash challenge, which did not fail to make the 2020 champion react!
While Tony Parker has just entered the Hall of Fame and the French team will be among the favorites to become world champions this summer, the future of French basketball also looks bright. Just look at the last Top 10 of the draft to realize it, Victor Wembanyama and Bilal Coulibaly proudly representing their country, respectively at Spurs and Wizards.
While the former is downright expected as the Messiah in Texas, his former Mets teammate also made headlines during the recent Summer League with some great performances. Enough to attract compliments from its leaders, including Kyle Kuzma. The latter also seems to have a weakness for French nuggets since he recently met the young Tidjane Salaun:

I met him this summer, I shook his hand and he said to me: “see you in two years” ???????? yeah, he’s a savage!
The least we can say is that the young player (18) is fearless. After all, Kuz’ is a former NBA champion and played alongside LeBron Jamesthat is not nothing.
For those who don’t know him, Salaun currently wears the colors of Cholet in Betclic Elite. Winger of 2m05, the brother of the French international Janelle Salaun was also able to talk about him during the last European Under-18 Championship, which saw the Bleuets fail in fourth place. With more than 12 points, almost 5 rebounds and two steals on average, the guy showed great things:

Tidjane Salaun has talent, he knows it and he does not hide it, even in front of a confirmed NBA player like Kyle Kuzma. The Wizards winger seems in any case to have appreciated the challenge launched by the young Frenchman and therefore awaits him firmly. See you in 2025 in the draft to find out where he will be ranked!
