Victor Wembanyama forgot to close the door of American basketball behind him, and three curious little French people decided to cross the threshold, just to see what was behind it. Zaccharie Risacher (Atlanta) and Alexandre Sarr (Washington) first and second choices in the NBA draft on Wednesday, Tidjane Salaün (Charlotte), 6th and even a fourth as a bonus, Pacome Dadiet (25th position, New York): no doubts , the future is bright for French basketball.
“I am really proud to contribute to the success of my country,” explained Zaccharie Risacher at a press conference, before having a word for his compatriots. I know Tidjane and Alex very well. Realizing our dream together is exceptional. »
“Now it’s off to work”
The first three mentioned agree that the evening was rich in emotions. A surge that many had anticipated, but whose weight on impact is still surprising. Risacher: “It’s incredible, it’s difficult to put into words what I felt, because it was indescribable. It was the emotional elevator. » “I’m a little upset,” admitted Salaün. Sixth is huge. Now it’s off to work. »
Same Stakhanovist refrain for the number one of the evening, which already makes a promise, that of “sleeping in the gymnasium”.
