While Zaccharie Risacher will arrive in the United States in the coming hours, Tidjane Salaün took a little lead, and the Bleacher Report reports that the Cholet winger already has four tests scheduled. Unsurprisingly, he will undergo trials with franchises called upon to select between the 5th and 8th places, with the Pistons (5th), the Blazers (7th) and the Spurs (8th). Remember that San Antonio also has the 4th choice.
A fourth franchise asked to see the Frenchman, and it’s the Thunder! On paper, OKC has the 12th pick, and that seems pretty low to pick the Frenchman, even though that's where Bleacher Report gives him. At ESPN, they place him in 9th position (Memphis), and others in 10th place (Utah).
On the Portland side, thetest would be included with those of Ron Holland, Ryan Dunn, Zach Edey, Yves Missi and Kyshawn George.
A few days ago, to the French press, Tidjane Salaün detailed his profile, and his versatility could stick in Thunder basketball.
“When I started in the pros, I was more in an exclusive 3&D role but I was able to bring more and more into other areas of the game: communication, leadership, energy, aggressiveness. [En attaque]I want to be a scorer more than just a shooter, to be able to score in several situations. […] I know I have to work on my dribbling, but also on creating for myself and for my teammates. I also want to be effective at 3-points and from mid-range. I work a lot on my mid-range shot. »
