Like Alexandre Sarr and Zaccharie Risacher a few days ago, Melvin Ajinça has just registered for the 2024 Draft, as announced by his agent, Bouna Ndiaye, at ESPN.
Top scorer for the French U19 team during the last World Cup, concluded with a silver medal, with 19.3 points per game, the guard/winger from Saint-Quentin is generally announced for the second round.
This is because he was recently slowed down by injuries, which deprived him of more than a month and a half of competition in Betclic Elite. Nevertheless, with his 19 points and 9 rebounds against Dijon, we found Alexis' cousin as we knew him, with impressive athletic qualities and aggressiveness, in addition to an ability to punish behind the 3 line -points. His “3&D” profile is enough to attract NBA teams.
In any case, he becomes the 10th Frenchman to register for the 2024 Draftafter Noah Penda, Adama Bal, Armel Traoré, Alexandre Sarr, Pacôme Dadiet, Yacine Toumi, Zaccharie Risacher, Ilias Kamardine and Mohamed Diawara.
Other names should still arrive, such as that of Tidjane Salaün, within the next three days, as we approach the deadline for registrations for the 2024 Draft.
