Spurs were gonna pick him at 8... so there wasnt a chance to trade back and get him. Lee worked with Giannis and Tatum... we will try and build him in that mold. Better shooter than Matas, Castle, and Holland. Peterson liked the talent. Its a good pick. Miller wont have to ask him to get back of defense. He has a want to get better and work. The fit is seemless. Give it time. This pick keeps us in the lottery for a BIG draft... then in year 2 BOOM. Play in or offs.

In a year or two I definitely expect Charlotte to be competitive.

Everybody in France who knows basketball will tell you Tidjane Salaun is our best prospect right behind Nolan Traoré. The best player in this class.

[@bmfsnc8466]

People thought it was dumb to get brandon miller over scooter and look how that turned out!

[@chuckfnnorriz5353]

He’s only 18 so those career numbers are good considering he was 15 lol

[@TrustTheBuzz]

That’s what I’m saying! I don’t have access to all the data in the world but those are pretty good splits. Makes me really confused as to why people don’t buy his shot. Not the prettiest thing but once again he is on 18

[@daltonsteele6029]

He was only playing 20 mpg too

[@mustymartian8684]

It didn't shock me. Thats the guy I wanted for the Hornets. Great pick.

[@NoahBClark]

Love this pick man, taller better shooting Aaron Gordon, and will do all the dirty work for this team. Perfect role player if we develop him properly.

[@VanIyke]

I called it!!!! I was on Ron Holland team but dropped him for Salaun. Youngest player in the draft. Has all of Hollands physical tools but taller, better shooter and has Mamba mentality and free throw percentage is 83%. And if you're to believe Wemby, who said, there's no one that works harder than Tidjane on his game.

[@TrustTheBuzz]

Effort and hard work is big for the two players we drafted, says a lot about some of our players that are on the roster

[@neu7773]

JT Thor did all his work to become a 3 point specialist. Very confusing..

[@storiesincardboard9420]

Remember, this was the player that supposedly got injured during a Spurs workout and cancelled his remaining workouts, including one with the Hornets. I think the Spurs guaranteed him they would take him at 8 so the “mysterious injury” happened.

[@yesyouarecorrectbut]

I just subbed to this channel mainly because of this comment! Many knowledgeable B-Ballers here! 🤙🏽

[@yesyouarecorrectbut]

The Spurs wanted Tidjan at 8th so the Hornets had nowhere to go if they wanted Tidjan! I think he is a Gem His motor is AMAZING He will single-handedly make other players stand out for not working as hard as he is, especially in the film room the day after! Great pick

[@bmfsnc8466]

NFL teams and players and fans don't like tanking. A player isn't even a full 1/22 of the team (special teams) compared to basketball where you are 1/5. Winning culture is huge in the NFL

Charlotte Hornets will have a High Lottery pick next year. Excellent pick

[@TheChandhi]

Hornet got a good man, he was trained in France until he came to Hornet, which means he is a patient player who stayed with his club until the end of his formation, this is why most of the good French players had success in the NBA.

[@rayneozier]

I wanted Matas, Holland, or Williams. I’m a big Matas Buzelis guy. But I’m very intrigued by Sulaün. 6ft9, 9ft standing reach, solid athleticism, and good promise as a shooter/scorer. I’m excited. He has a really high motor and puts in great effort and energy on both ends. I want the team to be “bad” for one more season since the Cooper Flag draft is coming up. But I’m very excited to see how Tidjane Sulaün develops in a couple of years.

[@Jay.isaiah]

We were trying to trade down for him but couldn't. Watching it live I thought we were going to draft Matas, I was shocked and a little mad lol but he turns 19 in August and has loads of potential, we can mold him. I like the pick, it was just early.

[@pr3s2ley12]

Good video

[@woomington]

i like the pick, it just shocked me a lot. i really didnt think we were going PF even though we need it bad. people were talking about knecht age, and cody williams age, and then we past on matas, but it was honestly between clingan and Salaun if we were to go big. I'm happy with either one, especially since Salaun speaks as if he doesnt care we suck, hes going to play 100% no matter the outcome, thats what i ultimately want.

[@guibblegabble1280]

He wanted to be on a team with his french brotha Wemby

[@Dee-es5hx]

Hornets needed to draft size. Salaun is potentially a bigger "PJ Washington" that can catch more lobs. Good pick. Young guys who can finish in the paint can help your team immediately, as their other skills develop.

[@maddhatt7082]

Yeah, but I'd say Tidjane is a better/more aggressive defender.

his shot blocking volume isn’t on faried’s level, but he has the physical tools to develop into that kind of player which is the perfect mold for today’s league.
