Il NBA Draft non it’s a exact science. It is repeated year after year like a mantra. Why? Because it is true. Otherwise you can’t explain how Steph Currythe best shooter in history, slipped to pick 7 in 2009. Just as it would be difficult to interpret, going backwards, Dennis Rodman at 27 in 1986 or even Tony Parker at 28 in 2001. Not the most talented Draft in history, the one just held. Lots of projects (read “players to be built”), no stars ready to use, Carmelo Anthony style so to speak. This is obviously always on paper. And an observation: the France continues to churn out young talentssince after Wembanyama (first choice of 2023), also the first two choices of this year (Risacher e Sarr) are of French origin, as is the 6th (Salaun). Considering that, overall, among the top ten players in the NBA currently there are a Serbian (Jokic), a Slovenian (Doncic), a Greek (Antetokounmpo), a Canadian (Gilgeous-Alexander) and a Cameroonian (Embiid), the United States they should seriously start a ask yourself questions.

NBA Draft, the first ten picks: Risarcher at one, Holland fifth
– Zaccharie Risacher (Atlanta Hawks). It is difficult, with bowls still, to see in him a future star of the first magnitude. 204cm winger, with great qualities in defending on the ball: he moves well laterally and has long, venomous arms when helping. Basically, French is a very accurate three-point shooter on the exhausts. He can shoot with the man on him or step sideways to send the defender to the bar and finish undisturbed. Not bad in transition, but suffers tremendouslymidfield attack. Non il best free throw shooter In circulation.
– Alex Sarr (Washington Wizards). Velociraptor of 213 centimeters, with albatross wingspan. Has great growth potential, but there is a lot of technical work to be done. Read: the means are there, but it is still a little rough. Quick in transition, mobilevery comfortable as cutting edge, has a great feeling for the game (which bodes well, because this thing cannot be taught). He is not a reliable shooter from outside and, to be honest, not even from the middle. At the moment. He knows though treat the sphere well and showed encouraging flashes in the “assist” chapter. In defenceAnd in able to stop even a Concorde at Mach 2 speed.
– Reed Sheppard (Houston Rockets). Small (188 centimeters), but terribly gifted both in attack that in defence. A point guard who knows what he’s doing with the ball in his hands and who, despite his physical limitations, is like weeds in defence. It seems like he got rid of it, but then he comes back on time. Good eye for the pass, although she often tends to serve cuts by picking up the dribble, slowing down the flow. She has a shot from outside that makes the province, even from a distance “Curry”, with a great release. But he has to work more on his ball handling, because from college to the NBA the speed doubles and every inaccuracy risks paying dearly.
– Stephon Castle (San Antonio Spurs). Doberman defensive already ready, in this fundamental, to do his part also upstairs. He slides laterally which is a beauty, passes hungrily through the blocks on every pick-and-roll, has desire and a spirit of sacrifice. Problems? Yes, the outside shot And not received. Opponents often give him even a couple of meters on the perimeter, he throws himself in the middle, with chaotic results and incoherent shots.
– Ron Holland (Detroit Pistons). Explosive athletewhich in transition seems as soft as butter spread on warm bread. He jumps high as if there were crocodiles on the parquet. Grim defender, of those who take the opponent’s first violin into custody and follow him until he closes the door of his car to go home. The three-point shot? This stranger…

NBA Draft, the first ten picks: from Charlotte to Utah
– Tidjane Salaun (Charlotte Hornets). It is still so much a project that it seems like a pencil sketch on a blank sheet of paper. The most optimistic hypotheses speak of a player from great energy who, after a lot of work, will be able to defend dynamically in multiple roles and be ready from the perimeter for a shot on the drains. When he passes the ball it looks like he’s trying to complete a Rubik’s Cube with ears.
– Donovan Clingan (Portland Trai Blazers). A sort of Eiffel Tower (approx. 220 centimeters) always ready to shove down your throat any shot taken from beyond the three-point line and, on the next play, to collect a lob launched five feet above the rim. But non And solo one stoppatore. on Also stick up for of low-post position. He can serve his teammates’ cuts. Its rolling after bringing a block. As for movements on the attacking pivot, however, we are at ABC. Ah, in the “free throws” chapter it sounds like Shaquille O’Neal. And that’s not a compliment.
– Rob Dillingham (Minnesota T-Wolves). Killer ball in hand pocket-sized (188 centimeters), he can create a shot from the dribble at any stage of the game. Player very creative, good lookingwith a deadly three-point shot (44%), even more on discharges (48%). He doesn’t seem to lack playmaking, but with his size (and physique), will he be able to do the same in the NBA?
– Zach Edey (Menphis Grizzlies). If we were in the 90s, it would have been the first overall mathematical choice. It was the era when you built a competitive team on a center like that. A tall colossus 223 centimetres, which is capable of dunking without jumping. If he takes a position under the basket, you can only stop him with the shovel. Sweet hands in Muresan style, although not so technically refined. In attack, beyond at the crushedcan pull a decent semi-gangster, even if he tends to turn too much only on his left shoulder. Obviously he can shoulder tackle King Kong and try to block his layup. But in the modern NBA, with his (limited) foot speed in defensewill it be possible to afford him for more than 10-15 minutes per match?
– Cody Williams (Utah Jazz). Much more physically immature. Not very explosive. Ball treatment to develop. However, the former Colorado has innate playmaking instincts and a scary one fluidity of ball in hand. If you strengthen your upper body, you can do well. But in perspective. Very in perspective.
…And then there’s Bronny
Bronny James (LA Lakers). Forget the current controversy over the fact that he was “recommended” by his illustrious father, who otherwise would not have had any chance upstairs. He was chosen in position 55mind you, the “Siberia” of the Draft. Not at 15. The point is that Bronny James he’s not ready for the NBA yet. Stop. He has no shot, he has no vision of the game, he treats the ball like this and like that. He is small (188 centimeters) both to play point guard and guard. In counterattack sometimes he exalts himself (because he’s athletic), but a defense lined up all his features emerge limits in termini Of offensive efficiency, ability to attack off the dribble, mid-range pull-up jumper. He can become a credible defensive stopper coming off the bench because he has desire and mental toughness. Barring surprises and unexpected growth, for now nothing more.
That’s all Folks!
See you next season.
