We recently mentioned the hype currently surrounding young French leader Nolan Traoré (17 years old). Arriving from the Federal Center to strengthen St-Quentin for the end of the season, Nolan finished his Playoffs this evening, but in the same way as he approached his first matches in the elite. This little one will go far, he will go very far.
The “little thumb” of St-Quentin almost did it. ASVEL was on the ropes, but a huge last quarter finally got the better of the local youth. This youth? She is beautiful and she was played in recent weeks at Pierre Ratte by these gentlemen Mathis Dossou-Yovo, Melvin Ajinca and Nolan Traoré. This evening, the first posted 14 points and 6 rebounds on the sheet, the second 14 points and 12 rebounds, while the third once again exploded the scorers and lit up the scouts’ eyes with 25 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists. The first is 23 years old, the second barely 20 and could be drafted in a few weeks, and the last is therefore… 17 years old, an age old enough to abuse American darons to this extent in the middle of the Playoffs.

25 pawns at 17, in the Playoffs, incredible shots, a money time two shots away from making him already a legend in the championship, and the 2025 Draft which continues to see its prospects grow at full speed. Everything is going too fast, everything is always going faster. Nolan Traoré has struck a big blow in recent weeks and even more so in the Playoffs, where it counts.
Nolan Traoré in 3 matches against ASVEL (3 – short – defeats):
18 points, 8 assists, 18 goals in 21 minutes
14 points, 7 assists, 16 goals in 23 minutes
25 points, 7 rebounds, 22 goals in 29 minutes
Averages:
19 points (at 47%), 7.3 assists, 18.7 rating in 24 minutes

Nolan Traoré was called during the week by Vincent Collet and his staff to be part of the training partners of the French Team in preparation for the Olympic Games. Nolan Traoré, Nolan Traoré, Nolan Traoré, get ready, because you haven’t stopped hearing about… who you know.
