I think Yabusele will be there to bring his mentality and leadership, and cause of his experience. I think also Ellie Okobo has a chance to take the last guard spot

[@stephenchen1420]

Yabusele making the most of his second NBA stint at Philly.

[@BasketNews_com]

He would be a great mentor, alongside Lessort, to the young guys

[@Irfanhill]

Thank you! As a Frenchman, I keep saying this to Americans who don't seem to realize. We lack a bit of shooting and maybe some traditional PG, but Risacher & Wembanyama are great at creating shots for themselves and others, and Nolan Traoré can shoot like few young players, he's not afraid of anything. Maledon can create and defend. Coulibaly and Ntilikna are great, athletic defenders, and Bilal could be even more on the offensive side. Sarr and Salaün are athletic freaks and have ok shots. We have great talent all around!

[@korielucious5837]

risacher ne peut pas vraiment créer pour lui même c’est un de ses lacunes et encore - pour les autres ca n’empêche pas que je le vois potentiellement all star dans un futur pas si lointain

[@squalllecanard8339]

En poste de meneur on peut miser sur Nolan Traoré !! il a tout pour casser la baraque si il bosse bien ! il peut même dépasser TP en niveau de jeu; d'ailleurs il devrait être top pick la saison prochaine en nba. Et là avec nos jeune ; Wemby; Risacher; Coulibaly; Salaun Sarr etc ... tu rajoutes deux trois mecs d'expérience Yabusele; Fournier; Gobert ... on peut ; pourquoi pas si toutes les palnètes s'alignent faire le braquo à LA en 2028 ;) Surtout qu'en face; ils vont perdre en leadership (sans KD. LBJ t Curry); ça restera certes toujours une équipe très compétitive avec Edwards; Tatum ; AD etc ... mais auront ils les épaules en terme de leadership pour porter une team usa ? Je pense qu'il peut y avoir match si on arrive encore à se hisser en finale contre eux; et même chez eux ;)

Questions about N. Traore athleticism are interesting as he is very similar to young Tony Parker in this regard : he doesn't have a good vertical, but he has a lightning fast first step. If he can develop a good mid-game at least, he will be a starter in the nba.

And the generations after that will probably also bring good players in men & women basketball if we look at how dominants the french teams are in Euro U16-U18-U20 the last few years with numerous victories/finals.

First look will be against Croatia in February 2025 with EuroLeague players. And then let's see if Evan Fournier can bring his win mentality to the youngs.

[@squalllecanard8339]

Tu peux rajouter Gobert et Fournier. Car dans la rotation ils peuvent apporter. Rudy c'est fini pour le 5 majeur par contre dans certains système défensifs il peut apporter un truc; pareil pour Evan en sorti de banc (suffit de voir ce que Nando à 37 ans a pu apporter en finale des JO alors que jusque là il faisait des JO ultra médiocres ! ) C'est bien beau le jeunisme mais il faut aussi un minimum d'expérience pour encadrer les jeunes.

[@thomasconty8347]

@squalllecanard8339 je suis complètement d'accord pour l'idée mais je parlais principalement de la nouvelle génération à venir donc Gobert et Fournier ne sont pas trop concernés. Par contre je pense que Fournier apportera beaucoup plus que Gobert je pense en terme d'expérience

Conversely, if you look at the American team, they don't have the it guy like LeBron, Steph or KD next olympics. You could call the Jays or Ant the next guys, but they're a full tier below all the actual generational superstars right now. America is incredibly deep, but they lack a Victor Wembanyama, a Luka Doncic or even a LeBron James for 2028. So this should absolutely be concerning for America in 2028. Their basketball hegemony will truly be put to the test in 2028.

[@marcelcsoglei9075]

But you don't know what's going to happen in next 4 years. Ant, JT can develop into that guy. On the other hand there still countless names in list of potential player team USA could use in next years and there is endless list of upcoming players team USA can use. It's quite unfair how many players USA delivers every year.

[@dixoncider8372]

France is really the only European team able to challenge the USA regularly in the long term when the best are playing, although Americans haven't become world champions since 2014 and Serbia and France really pushed them to limits this summer. It would be nice to have a Ryder Cup -like test series for example during the All-Star break or in the preseason where an All-American team would face an All-European lineup, or at least have your take what such a team would look like (hopelessly big ball but try to avoid filling the team with bigs 😂).

[@POpperoni75020]

I hope they will have the mentality and discipline to develop their talent and potential to the maximum. I wish them a lot of success in their championship team and of course when they wear the French team jersey

[@thegto8535]

Risacher will probably be much more than a 3 and D. Dadiet, Salaün and co, all come from euro bball so they naturally know more than 3 and D or other restricted roles, that's why euro players are so liked/ considered nowadays. There a few more who would be deserving attention for a spot in 2028, Melvin Ajinça is a very promising forward; Ousmane Dieng in OKC and Ryan Rupert in Portland show some good stuff when they have opportunities, and lastly, the most interesting one, he plays in Charlotte with Salaün, Moussa Diabaté !

[@Ma1k.]

For every american in the comment, I'll explain to you why France is dominating youth basketball. First of all, european junior teams don't usually have high earnings if not for their performances, while American high school marketability focuses more on creating superstars, so European "academies" focus more on creating a winning team rather then on creating a media star, and that make European kids grow with a more team-centered style of playing. Basketball has always been popular in France but the thing that makes it better than other countries is the amount of black people. Black people have genetically always been more predisposed for basketball. On top of that, lots of European junior teams make the most talented kids, like Wemby, play Point Guard regardless of their size, making them more complete than american unicorns I think those are the reasons why France is becoming so strong in producing basketball talents

I love this channel bro but these guys want someone to dethrone us Americans so bad & it will never happen you get a couple great players & all of sudden they can beat the Americans 😂 knock it off bro as far as I can remember the games have always been close when we played good teams & will always be close bc what ppl fail to realize is that these teams have great chemistry they play together in every fiba tournament the games should be close we Americans get a new group of 12 players together for a week & a half and win gold every year in the Olympics against great players who play together yearly & have an HUGE advantage as far as chemistry goes. We should absolutely not be able to go to the Olympics with a team that been together for a week & a half & beat teams who have great players with great chemistry who know each others games who know where each others gonna be with their eyes closed not to mention off the court chemistry that matters as well. But yet we do every other year the IQ i would say is on the same level as far as our highest level players but the skill & talent gap is SO WIDE & that’s why we’re able to even do something like that this narrative that the gap is getting so much closer imo is just something euros make up in their own head to give themself a little hope haha which is not a bad thing whatever helps you sleep at night

You forgot the most talented guard, Elie Okobo, that will be and is already one of the best guard in Europe
