According to American journalist Jonathan Givony, specializing in the field, the two French Nolan Traoré and Noa Essengue would have received (as well as their loved ones) an invitation for the next NBA draft, in the same way in particular as the future American superstar Cooper Flag, expected as number 1.
The NBA is fast approaching for Nolan Traoré (19, 1.91m) and Noa Essenue (18, 2.05m), who have probably had their last season in Europe, in France for the first, in Germany for the second. Next season, these two tricolor basketball nuggets should indeed know their big beginnings in the prestigious North American League. The sesame in question inevitably involves the NBA draft. And this draft, the great hope currently evolving in Saint-Quentin in Betclic Elite as his compatriot who defends the colors of the German Club of Ulm, should live it on the spot and even become two of the major actors.
According to the American journalist Jonathan Givony, precisely known to be an expert in this lottery, of which nothing escapes him, Traoré and Essenue, in the same way as their respective families and their loved ones, have received an invitation to attend the event from the Green Room. Please note: this does not mean that our two representatives will not be affected by this draft. On the contrary.
Alongside the Superstar Cooper Flagg …
Receiving an invitation for the Green Room is generally – without making it an absolute guarantee – very good news for all players wishing to take their first steps in the NBA. But what is this “green room”? It is actually the most coveted platform of the evening, since the 19 players selected each year take place by Adam Silver and the League while waiting to have the chance (which is the case for the majority of the players in question) to hear their names pronounced by the famous commissioner and at the same time know the franchise that chose them and in which they will live – except exchange in the stride between the franchises –
And if Traoré and Essenue – once again, provided that their invitations is confirmed – had a doubt, they should be reassured by learning that the future American superstar Cooper Flagg, promised the status of number 1 of this edition and which should land in Dallas, is also part of this list. (Very) auspicious.
