Unsurprisingly, France was at the top of this 2024 draft. Zaccharie Risacher, Alex Sarr and Tidjane Salaun made the top 10, with a visibly proud Victor Wembanyama. He will have many companions next year.

After Victor Wembanyama last year with the Spurs, the first choice in the 2024 draft is still French.

We could have feared a trade from the Hawks and a little surprise for this event, but none of that happened.

Zacharie Risacher moved to first position, while Trae Young and Dejounte Murray could be traded.

The Hawks select Zacharie Risacher with the first pick.

France shines (again) in the draft

The Hawks decided in favor of the Frenchman, even if a trade has long been an option for the future.

Great happiness for Risacher, followed closely by Sarr, called up 5 minutes later for the Wizards.

A new teammate for Bilal Coulibaly, and again, an excellent defensive player. We imagine that the fans are delighted.

The Wizards select Alex Sarr with the second pick.

And that’s not all, since Tidjane Salaun was chosen by the Hornets in sixth position for his side.

A great draft for the French, with hopefully great success in the years to come. Victor Wembanyama is convinced of this, he who shared this tweet after Sarr’s draft.

France still shines in the draft, while the 2025 draft should be no exception. A great success for these young players, even if the hardest part is now to come.
