On the sidelines of the Euroleague Final Four, the ANGT U18 takes place, the toughest of the U18 tournaments, in which the Overtime Elite participates, and a Frenchman bursts into the limelight. It is Nolan Traore (1m92, 18 years old in three days) whose performances NBA scouts have been following for several weeks.
Saturday afternoon, the young leader from Saint-Quentin quite simply signed his best career game, his young career, with 45 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists. All at 10 out of 14 on shots in Insep's victory over Barcelona (101-96). A success which allows the young French people to secure a place in the final to face the nursery of Real Madrid!
A performance in line with what he produced at the end of the season in Betclic Elite, but also the day before against Berlin: 20 points, 6 assists in… 15 minutes. Limited playing time because the Bleuets had already killed off the match to win 102-62.
