The 2024 NBA first-round draft has ended, I didn't expect the current NBA team to love the French so much, the draft champion and the top are from France, and the sixth pick was also taken by the French, three of the top six are from France, which is also the most interesting scene of this draft.
I feel that European basketball is about to take over the NBA arena, after all, last year's champion Wembanyama came from France, and just landed in the NBA set off a frenzy, averaging 21.4 points, 10.6 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game in his rookie season, with a shooting rate of 46.5%, due to his physical confrontation quality is not very strong, Bobo old man is very pitiful of his disciples, and only plays an average of 29,7 minutes per game. Maybe it's Wembanyama's outstanding performance, and now the teams are only fond of the French players. And many of the hottest players in the NBA team are from Europe, with Jokic, who won the team's first NBA championship last year, from Serbia; Doncic, who led the team to the NBA Finals this year, is from Slovenia; And the brother who led the Bucks to win the NBA championship in 2021 is from Greece, and European players have indeed had a talent blowout in recent years.
First of all, let's introduce this year's champion show Zachary Risachet, the first to be selected by the Hawks in the first round, Lisachet is 2.06 meters tall, with an arm span of 2.08 meters, serving as a small forward, excellent physical fitness, as thin as Wembanyama when he first entered the league, in Ligue 1, he averaged 10.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game, with a shooting rate of 43.9%, and also had a good performance in the international arena, 2022 U17 World Cup, He averaged 10.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game, helping France win the third place. The Eagles' selection of Zachary Risaache is also a new firepower for themselves, after all, the record has been declining since breaking into the Eastern Conference finals three years ago, this is the Eagles' first No. 1 pick, and I hope to bring good luck to the Eagles, after all, European players have good skills and basic skills, and the Eagles coaching staff needs to slowly cultivate and explore their individual potential.
The top eye, also from France, was selected by the Wizards in second place in the first round, with a height of 2.13 meters and an arm span of 2.24 meters. It is worth noting that Alex Sarr did not play in Europe, but averaged 9.4 points, 4.3 rebounds and 0.9 assists in the Australian league, with good agility and bounce ability, movement speed contrasts with huge height, wide arm span and outstanding defensive ability, the Wizards used the No. 2 pick to select a tall and mobile center to make up for their own shortcomings, the Wizards are currently in the rebuilding stage, and need a future star to take on the burden of team revival.
However, Bronny was not selected in the first round of the draft, and it seems that the Lakers chose to give up Bronny in the first round for the sake of their own lineup, but the possibility of a second-round selection is not ruled out.
