[@VanRoostand]

I like his movement off the ball, he understands spacing.

[@bruceday783]

He’s going to get so many techs hanging on the rim 😂

[@blacksuede]

I like his game more than Risacher

[@bballer191]

Same. Risacher''s not a creator or playmaker, he just camps out in the corner waiting for someone to pass him the ball so he can shoot it. He's just your typical 3&D wing with average athleticism by NBA standards. That's the easiest player archetype to find in the NBA. Salaun projects as a mobile stretch-4 with good size at 6'10 with a 7'0+ wingspan who can put the ball on the floor and attack open space if/when he needs to. He's got a higher ceiling than Risacher. He'd be a great fit next to Wemby. Portland might snatch him at 7 though before the Spurs get a chance to.

[@samuelmalua574]

@@bballer191if he falls to POR they will definitely take him. Blazers have time to develop their players & also need a young athletic wing.

[@cult75]

He'll be A Piston, bank it.

[@jimmymanggit3501]

yes

[@BooGhan]

He reminds me of the then unknown Giannis with a much polished three pointer. Yes. Giannis used to shoot threes at Greek Division 2

[@bballer191]

Spurs with the 8th Pick. 💯

[@LeagueHim]

The growing French pipeline...

[@chickenwinck]

Won’t be there at 8

[@codyrandall7397]

Would be cool for the spurs but he’s not getting past Portland at 7

[@chucklee2507]

Spurs wish

[@mobileeyesmarketing808]

This guy looks like Dave Chapelle playing Prince on every dunk.

[@JakobesLifesAGame]

I like him a lot. Solid footwork, lob threat for melo, great replacement for miles bridges if he leaves. I have like Kencht but this guy seems better ngl I like this pick for Charlotte

[@LeagueHim]

Energy , physical tools , youth!

[@damonmd3]

2nd best draft prospect out of the guys at the top that ive looked at so far

[@rbtheballer]

Pistons!!

[@silenciothequiet3471]

Kid seems legit...

[@tyjack2613]

Detroit

[@jasonholloway4162]

I like his signature one arm hang on the rim…GSG

[@VanIyke]

Good thing he's the youngest draft prospect because he has a lot to add to his game: A two level scorer with no jump shot. Scores at the rim and from the arc with zero midrange game. Zero shot creation. Loose handles that needs tightening.

[@codyrandall7397]

Was thinking the exact same thing. He needs to learn how to score 3 levels

[@boondot1986]

I mean it’s a plus.. but Giannis got pretty far without it! This guy has raw talent and a pretty high motor which are the biggest keys to being a star in the NBA.

[@blakeswann6690]

Good motor, solid shooter with good athletic ability but the only knock to his game is the lack of muscle on his frame as a 4 is a little concerning as a defender so his first year he would probably be in the G League or be a Keegan Murray type role as a rookie

[@afuturemodern]

Who is #77? he looks better than Salaun in his own highlights

[@justinah7400]

He play defense?

[@chasew2266]

Blazers at 7

[@bballer191]

That would be pretty crazy. to go from being projected in the 20's to the 7th overall pick 😮

[@chickenwinck]

I agree. Which is why the spurs will take him 4th

[@joshhoward1898]

My only concern is he’s barely scoring on drives, and relies on the passes from teammates for offense.

[@Habeev07]

PORTLAND at 7 please.

[@richardmr2]

Welcome to the Spurs with the 4th pick!

i see scottie barnes and greek freak

[@ukhillboy365]

Moves well without the ball, & has high motor.

The motor is impressive

[@cult75]

Perfect to play alongside Cade.

Castle or Carter at 4 and Tidjane S at 8 with San Antonio Spurs

[@iancardwell0]

Bulls at 11

[@Em_dlg]

I think the spurs will make an attempt to trade for him at 11 … Keldon and give the bulls their own 25’ FRP back and probably a 2nd too .. I think the kid can make impact in the league

[@bballer191]

@@Em_dlg Spurs have the 8th Pick already. They can just take him there if Portland doesn't take him at 7.

@@bballer191 I’m hoping the spurs get 3 picks in and not just two.. 4,8, trade at 11 for soluan
