Victor Wembanyama wasn’t the only young French NBA prospect turning heads overseas this season.
CONCERNS: Not a pure shooter. Even benefitting from extra space with Wembanyama on the floor, he shot just under 24% from 3-point range through nine playoff games — down from 36% during the regular season. Here'sJAMES NNAJI, BARCELONAfor Barcelona, one of the best teams in Europe. The 249-pound Nnaji has averaged 9.3 minutes, 2.2 rebounds and 0.6 blocks per game over 53 games — with Barcelona currently in the Spanish league playoffs and facing Real Madrid in the finals.
CONCERNS: Lacks shooting touch when defenders keep him away from the rim. Can be prone to turnovers — 0.8 per game in limited minutes — due to unrefined post moves. He's shooting 51% from the free throw line. He's seen as a developmental prospect — he turns 19 in August.— Tristan Vukcevic: The 20-year-old center impressed at the NBA draft combine, scoring 21 points with 3-for-3 shooting from behind the arc in one game, and standing just over 6-11 without shoes.
