Even if this 2024 Draft was particularly open, the trend was for a French double in the first two places, and that is what happened, Zaccharie Risacher being chosen by the Hawks in first position, whileAlexandre Sarr He joined the Wizards right after!
A year after Victor Wembanyama, it is therefore a historic double for France, which places two representatives in the first two places of the 2024 NBA vintage.
There are even three French people in the Top 6 since Tidjane Salaün was called from the 6th choice, by Charlotte! This is the first time that a country, outside the United States, has placed three players in the Top 10 of the Draft.
To read >> A historic Draft for France
Chosen in 8th position by the Spurs, Rob Dillingham will not join San Antonio. He takes over the management of Minnesota, in exchange for a first round of Draft (unprotected) in 2031 and a “swap” (protected) in 2030.
In 25th place, the Knicks have set their sights on Pacôme Dadietwho therefore becomes the fourth Frenchman chosen in the first round of this 2024 Draft! Again, this is a record.
