Seven “Frenchies” aims to join Victor Wembanyama, Zaccharie Rischer or Nicolas Batum in the NBA. This Tuesday, the North American Basketball League has announced the official list of the 106 candidates “scheduled” at the draft 2025, which will be held in New York on 25 and 26 June. Among these, six French: Noa Esseue, 18 -year -old Strong Winger (Ulm, Germany); Mohamed Diawara, ala for 20 years (Colet); Joan Beringer, 18 years old (Cedevita Olimpija, Slovenia); Zaion Nebot, 21 -year -old rear (Le Havre); Nolan Traoré, 18 years old leader (Saint-Shar); Noah Penda, 20 -year -old wing (Le Mans).
A list in which Maxime Raynaud is added, 22 years old, is automatically suitable for the draft after four years spent in Stanford (California). If not surprised, France will not place its representatives in the first 10 choices made by the 30 NBA franchise, after two exceptional years, marked by Victor Wembanyama, number one in 2023, Zaccharie Rischer, number one in 2024, or even Alexandre Sarr, number two in 2024.
