On Wednesday, there will be eight French people hoping to be called by Adam Silver. From 2 a.m. French time, the NBA boss will list the names of the players selected by the franchises during the first round of the draft, a big annual mass which will take place this year at the Barclay Center, the home of the Brooklyn Nets. Of the 17 French people initially registered, nine withdrew their names after testing their rating. There therefore remain eight talents made in France, including Zaccharie Risacher and Alexandre Sarr, the two favorites of this 2024 draft crop.
And for players who are not selected Wednesday in the first round (choice 1-30), of which the Atlanta Hawks have the first choice, there will remain a chance to be called up Thursday, during the second round (choice 31-58* ) held for the first time on another day, in the ESPN studios in Manhattan. Note that the first round of the draft will be broadcast live on beIN Sport 1, from 1:45 a.m., during the night from Wednesday to Thursday.
