Tidjane Salaun is one of more intriguing foreign prospects in this draft and In a questionable draft he boasts a lot of potential with his 6’10 Frame and 3 and D potential in this class.
Tidjane Salaun this season for Cholet has definitely been a raw prospect averaging 9 points and 4 rebounds on 38% fg and 33% from 3 in 22 minutes but per 36 he’s averaging 14 and 6. He has shown an immense amount of potential as a shooter this season and defensively he’s very mobile but has excelled off ball while hunting down passing lanes and being able to work in transition.
In a draft like this he seems like the type of wildcard prospect that Masai would gravitate towards and Masai was also seen at one of his games a couple of months ago.
Interest in Salaun has sparked as of late as he just put up a stat line of 19 8 and 3 in the French Playoffs in an upset against #2 seed Paris and he was able to show his whole arsenal with elite cutting and shooting with a logo 3 he made in the 4th and he was also able to show his ability to finish in transition with his insane length and great mobility at 6’10.
This is the type of player that If put in the right Hands could flourish and could easily be looked at in a couple of years as one of the best, if not the best in this draft class in a couple years!

This is obviously with the hope that he is even available at 19 but with his game I could see masai looking to trade up for a talent like him!
I think he’s gonna be the French Bruno. Go watch some game video instead of highlights and you will know what I’m talking about. No one else has a bigger difference between their highlights and their actual game footage
He is not gonna be there. I have a funny feeling he is a top 10 pick
Can see Masai trading 19 and 31 to get him.
