Europeans stand tall in shallow NBA draft pool – American Press
SUMMARY: French and Spanish players Alex Sarr and Zaccharie Risacher highlight an NBA draft class deemed weak. Risacher wishes to make France's basketball history as Sarr aims to find stable ground after a global career journey. Isaiah Collier of Southern Cal dismisses the notion of a weak draft, noting its openness. Donovan Clingan, another contender, contrasts his local career with Sarr's global path. This year's draft marks a potential historic moment for France, possibly getting consecutive No. 1 picks without American college players. Sarr or Risacher's rise could parallel the success of Victor Wembanyama, who shone last year.
