NBA draft 2024: The international players you need to know

NBA 2024選秀:一些你必須認識的國際球員

導言跟我就不翻了 懶

Zaccharie Risacher, SF, JL Bourg (France)
Zaccharie Risacher (中文應該比較接近札克里‧里撒謝之類的)，小前鋒，JL Bourg
(法國)

19歲|6'9.75"|195lb
ESPN No. 1

Quick background: Risacher was born in Malaga, Spain, where his father,
Stephane, a former Olympian and a hall of famer in France, played in the
Euroleague and ACB. Risacher grew up in Lyon, and as a 16-year-old, he becameteammates with Victor Wembanyama on Euroleague team ASVEL.

"I got to spend a little bit of time with him," Wembanyama told Andrew Lopez."And we were both really young at the time, but back then even sometimes he
practiced with us and he was just doing some crazy things in terms of talent.He's definitely up there in that draft class. I probably don't know anybody
more talented than him in this draft class."

Starring alongside Alex Sarr on France's U16, U17 and U19 national teams the
past three summers, Risacher took a similar route as Wembanyama in departing
ASVEL for a bigger role in the French league when he joined JL Bourg this
past fall. That move paid off, as he averaged 11.1 points, 4 rebounds in 23
minutes while shooting 39% for 3 through 62 contests in the EuroCup and Pro
A, going 42-20 in that stretch.

背景:Risacher出生於西班牙的Malaga(他爸也是前奧運選手間法國名人堂球員且當時在那邊打球)。Risacher在Lyon長大並在16歲時加入ASVEL隊與Victor Wembanyama成為隊友。

Wembanyama告訴Andrew Lopez:"我跟他相處過一陣子。我們那時都還很小但那個時候他就已經有天賦在練習時做出一些很瘋狂的事情。他絕對是這屆最好的人之一。我可能不知道這屆有任何人比他更有天賦。"(Scout Wemby(笑))

他過去三個夏天都與Alex Sarr一同帶領U17 U18 U19國家隊，Risacher去年秋天也採取了與Wembanyama類似的路徑離開ASVEL並加入JL Bourg以尋求更大的角色。而這行動也奏效了，他這季62場比賽場均23分鐘拿下11.1分4籃板並有著39%的三分命中率且拿下了42勝20敗。

Stats that stand out: Besides Wembanyama, no French player since Tony Parker
has scored more prolifically than Risacher in their first NBA draft-eligible
year.

出色的數據:除了Wembanyama，Tony Parker以後沒有任何球員在他們可以被NBA選的前一個賽季能拿下這麼多分。

Bet you didn't know: Zaccharie's sister, Ainhoa Risacher, was named MVP of
the FIBA U16 Women's European Championship in 2023, after guiding France to agold medal.

你可能不知道的事:Zaccharie的妹妹Ainhoa是FIBA 2023 U16女籃歐洲杯的MVP並拿下金牌。

Scout's take: Risacher would be a good fit on almost any NBA roster thanks tohis combination of size, transition scoring prowess, defensive versatility,
feel for the game and ability to shoot off movement, making 39% of his
3-pointers this season. He's a solid rebounder who was tasked with guarding
point guards through power forwards for a Bourg team that had the No.
1-ranked defense in both the French league and EuroCup, where he helped his
team make the finals.

球探的想法:因為他的身材、快攻能力、換防彈性、比賽的感覺與動態投射(39% 3P)，
Risacher會是在每隊NBA陣容中百搭的存在。他是不錯的籃板手且在Bourg這隻歐洲防守第一的球隊從1號守到4號並幫助球隊打到了決賽。

Areas for improvement at the next level: Seeing most of his offense spotting
up from the corners, in the open court, coming off screens and moving withoutthe ball, Risacher was tasked with very little shot creation as he's not muchof a ball handler in pick-and-roll or isolation situations, something that's
not ideal considering how high he's projected to be drafted. He also doesn't
have a great deal of length (6-foot-9½ wingspan) relative to his height, and
he needs to get stronger. He has shot a career 71% from the free throw line
and 35% from beyond the 3-point line in 206 games, so there are questions
about how much of a shooter he truly is despite the large sample size of 75
games this past season.

需要進步的地方:他大部分的進攻都來自底角、快攻、無球掩護後投射以及無球跑位，
Risacher並沒有被賦予過甚麼創造投籃的任務且也沒打過甚麼擋拆的持球者或單打，而這以他的選秀行情(#1)來說並不是太理想。他同時相對他的身高並沒有出色的臂展(僅有
6'9.5"比他身高低)，而他還需要在變得更壯。他生涯只有71%的罰球命中率及35%的三分命中率，所以即使他本季已經打了大樣本的75場比賽對於他作為射手的能力還是有一些疑慮。

Alex Sarr, PF/C, Perth (Australia)
Alex Sarr，強力前鋒/中鋒，Perth(澳洲)

19歲|7'1"|224lb
ESPN No.2

Quick background: Hailing from Bordeaux in the south of France, Sarr has
taken a circuitous route to the draft, spending two years in Spain with Real
Madrid, two years in Atlanta with Overtime Elite, and then this past season
in the Australian NBL with the Perth Wildcats. Sarr has long been hailed as
one of the top international prospects in his age group, ranking among the
most productive players at the FIBA U16 European Championship in 2021 and theFIBA U17 World Cup in 2022.

背景:南法的Bordeaux出身，Sarr的選秀之路採取了比較迂迴的路線，他在西班牙的皇家馬德里花了2年並在亞特蘭大的Overtime Elite也花了2年最後才在去年到澳洲NBL的Perth
Wildcats打球。Sarr長期以來都是本屆最頂級的國際新秀之一，在FIBA 2021 U16世界盃與2022年FIBA U17世界盃都是表現最好的球員之一。

Stats that stand out: His two-game preseason explosion against G League
Ignite in September, where he posted 43 points, 17 rebounds, 12 blocks and 4
assists served as a proof of concept for what makes him a contender for the
No. 1 pick.

出色的數據:在他與G League Ignite去年9月的兩場熱身賽中他大爆發，他2場總共得了43分17籃板12火鍋與4助攻證明了他也是爭取狀元的候選人之一。

Bet you didn't know: His brother, Olivier, played college basketball at Wake
Forest and Kentucky, and finished this season on a two-way contract with the
Oklahoma City Thunder.

你可能不知道的事:他的哥哥Olivier在Wake Forest與Kentucky打過美國大學籃球並在奧克拉荷馬以雙向合約結束本賽季。

Scout's take: At 19 years old, with a 224-pound frame that has significant
room for growth with his broad shoulders and well-proportioned lower-body,
Sarr has upside to grow into with the strides he has made over the past few
years, and he is especially promising on the defensive end. With a 7-4
wingspan, Sarr's combination of size, length, mobility, defensive versatilityand finishing ability gives him an easy niche he can fill as a vertical
spacing big who can protect the rim and slide with guards on the perimeter.
The flashes he has shown as a ball handler, passer and perimeter shooter givehim real star potential depending on how he develops, especially considering
the scarcity of players in this mold who can play either the power forward orcenter position.

球探的想法:以一名19歲來說，他224磅的體重在他出色的肩寬與比例良好的下半身等良好條件下還有很大的成長空間。Sarr這幾年來取得了顯著進步，尤其是他的防守端。他有著7'4"的臂展，Sarr身材、長度、靈活性、換防彈性與終結能力的結合讓他成為了同時可以護筐與在外圍防守後衛的垂直空間型大個子的理想人選。他有幾個時刻展現他可以做為持球者、傳球者與外圍射手的能力，這也讓他有發展成為明星的潛力，尤其考量他這種球員在中鋒與強力前鋒的稀缺性。

Areas for improvement at the next level: Sarr lacked a degree of
assertiveness, physicality and consistency with his feel for the game and
overall approach at a young age, which caused skepticism among scouts
regarding his likelihood of reaching his full potential, something he did a
good job of alleviating this past season in the NBL. It will be important forSarr to address those concerns as the level of competition rises. His
productivity waxed and waned at times this season.

需要進步的地方:Sarr對比賽的感覺與他的策略缺乏一些果斷性、對抗性與穩定性，這也造成一些球探對於他是否能達到他的上限產生了疑慮，而他這一季在NBL的表現有緩和了這些質疑。Sarr在下一個層級的競爭是否能打破這些疑慮將會變得至關重要。他本季的表現也時好時壞。

Tidjane Salaun, PF, Cholet Basket (France)
Tidjane Salaun(中文應該比較像堤間·沙龍)，強力前鋒。Cholet Basket(法國)

18歲|6'10"|217lb
ESPN No. 10 Mock. 8

Quick background: Born in Orly, a suburb of Paris, Salaun took a very
different route to the draft than his French counterparts did, making his
national team debut at 18. He wasn't considered a top-tier prospect in his
home country early on, failing to make it out of training camps with his
national team at the U16 and U17 levels and having just a brief experience atfamed French sports academy INSEP. He eventually departed for Cholet. Salaun
became a full-time member of Cholet's pro team after he graduated high schoollast summer, something his parents insisted on for academic purposes.

背景:在法國巴黎近郊的Orly生，Salaun進職業與他的法國同儕採取了非常不一樣的道路，他18歲才第一次為國家隊出征。他早期並不在法國被認為是該屆最好的潛力，他U16 U17連國家隊的訓練營都打不進去且只有在法國有名的INSEP運動學院打了一下下。他最後離開並加入了Cholet。Salaun去年夏天在高中畢業後在Cholet終於成為了他們全職職業隊的一員，而這也是他的父母堅持的學業目標(一定要拿到高中文憑這件事情)。

Stats that stand out: Salaun went from playing 17 total minutes last season
for Cholet's pro team to stepping into a significant role in both the French
league and the FIBA Champions League, averaging 9.6 points, 4.0 rebounds in
23 minutes. He was the youngest player in France to see rotation minutes thisseason in Pro A.

出色的數據:Salaun上一季總共只打了17分鐘而這季承擔了隊伍的重要角色，場軍出戰23分鐘拿下9.6分4.0籃板。他是法國甲級聯賽本季有拿到穩定輪替最年輕的球員。

Bet you didn't know: Tidjane's sister, Janelle Salaun, is a national team
player who helped Villeneuve-d'Ascq make the championship game of the
Euroleague this season. Salaun is one of 18 players vying for a spot on
France's Paris Olympic team this summer.

你可能不知道的事:Tijane的姐姐Janelle也是國家隊隊員並幫助了Villeneuve-d'Ascq打進了歐洲聯賽的冠軍戰。Salaun的姐姐也是今年夏天法國奧運籃球代表隊18人競爭名單之一。

Scout's take: At 6-10, Salaun hit 82 3-pointers this season in 60 games,
showing unlimited confidence and dynamic shot-making prowess. He hit
pull-ups, side-step jumpers and step-backs from well beyond the arc. He playswith exceptional intensity, flying all over the court with impressive
mobility, and he is difficult to shoot over on the perimeter with his 7-2
wingspan. Turning 19 in August and clearly on a strong development
trajectory, Salaun's physical tools, perimeter shooting and defensive
versatility gives him significant upside to grow into long term.

球探的想法:以6'10"的身高，Salaun在60場比賽投進了82顆三分球，展示了他無限的自信與動態投射能力。他可以在長距離乾拔、側步與後撤步。他也都維持著出色的強度，全場跑並維持出色的移動能力，而且很難在外圍他7'2"的臂展前方投籃。以他8月才滿19的年紀他顯然有著強力的發展曲線，Salaun的身體條件、外圍投射與換防彈性給了他長期來看出類拔萃的上限。

Areas for improvement at the next level: Salaun's skill level, feel for the
game and decision-making are still in progress considering his lack of
experience. He's a crude ball handler and streaky shooter who shows
questionable awareness and can be fairly mistake-prone on both ends of the
floor. Whichever NBA team drafts him will need to be patient with his
development as he had incredible highs and extreme lows this season that are
often on course for late bloomers such as him.

需要進步的地方:考量他經驗的不足，Salaun的技巧、對比賽的感覺以及決策能力都還需要琢磨。他是個粗糙的持球者與吃手感的射手還展現出有問題的意識及常常在攻防兩端犯錯。無論哪隻NBA球隊選到他都需要對他的發展有耐心因為他本季展現出不可置信的上限與極端的下限是他這種大器晚成者常出現的事情。

Nikola Topic, PG, Red Star Belgrade (Serbia)
Nikola Topic(發音比較接近拖匹奇)，控衛，Red Star Belgrade(塞爾維亞)

18歲|6'7"|203lb
ESPN No. 9 Mock No. 10

Quick background: Growing up in Novi Sad, a suburb of Belgrade, Topic was
identified at a fairly young age, being named captain of the Serbian U16
national team that won the FIBA European Challengers. His true breakout came
in 2023, in which he had dominant showings in Euroleague's ANGT and then
helped Serbia win the U18 European Championship. He was named MVP.

背景:在貝爾格勒近郊的Novi Sad長大，Topic在很早就被發掘，他在塞爾維亞U16國家隊就被任命為隊長並率隊贏下FIBA Challengers。他真正的突破發生在2023，他在歐洲聯盟的ANGT大放異彩並幫助塞爾維亞贏下歐洲U18冠軍。他也是MVP。

(吐槽:2022年的MVP Izan Almansa其實也是本屆選 然而 他去了點燃隊就........)

Stats that stand out: Topic had a phenomenal 3½-month stretch to start the
season with Mega MIS that solidified him as a potential top-five pick,
averaging 18.6 points and 6.9 assists per game and shooting 65% from 2P% in
the Adriatic League. It's rare to see an 18-year-old guard make that type of
impact at this European level, especially with his scoring efficiency inside
the paint. Unfortunately, we were not able to see how his game translates to
the Euroleague level after his midseason transfer as a pair of knee injuries
derailed his season starting in early January, and continued to hamper him
into the pre-draft process. And on Wednesday, his agent, Misko Raznatovic,
confirmed to ESPN that Topic has a partially torn ACL.

出色的數據:Topic這季在Mega MIS有著現象級的3個月半開季並讓他坐穩了前5順位的位置，當時在Adriatic聯盟場均18.6分6.9助攻並有65%的2分球命中率。一名18歲後衛在歐洲這種層級展現出如此影響力是很少見的，尤其是他禁區的得分效率。不幸的，因為季中轉隊之後一月的2次膝傷我們看不到他把能力轉換上更高級的歐洲聯盟，且這持續的阻礙他的選前流程。星期三他的經紀人Misko Raznatovic也告知ESPN他部分撕裂了ACL。

Bet you didn't know: Nikola's father, Milenko was a 6-foot-9 Euroleague
player who won a silver medal with Yugoslavia at the 1996 Olympics in
Atlanta, as well as gold medals at the FIBA World and European Championships
in 1997 and 1998. Milenko played and coached for Crvena Zvezda (Red Star).

你可能不知道的事:Nikola的爸爸Milenko是6'9"的前歐洲聯盟球員並在1996年與南斯拉夫共和國在亞特蘭大奧運拿下銀牌，也在FIBA世界盃與歐洲冠軍戰(97與98年)拿下金牌。
Milenko也曾經在Crvena Zvezda(Red Star)執教過與打球。

(OS:歐洲也全都是運動世家XD)

Scout's take: Topic has great size for a point guard with an outstanding
combination of ball handling, pace-changing speeds out of hesitation moves,
and creativity finding teammates on the move and finishing skillfully around
the basket. What he lacks in length and explosiveness, he makes up for with
his feel for the game, as his ability to get to spots on the floor and make
reads out of pick-and-roll is more advanced than any player in this draft
class.

球探的想法:Topic作為控球後衛有出色的體型與控球、節奏轉換能力(透過Hesi)並有著能找到隊友的傳球創造力同時有技巧的在籃框附近終結。他雖然沒有強大的爆發力與長度，他用他本屆領先所有球員的擋拆閱讀能力來彌補。

Areas for improvement at the next level: Topic has never been a great
shooter, as his 29% 3-point percentage this season was in line with his
career average. The fact that he is such an elite free throw shooter (87%)
and shows shot-making prowess off the dribble leaves room for optimism. He
has struggled at times with rangier defenders on switches, something we
weren't able to learn more about in the Euroleague because of his injuries.
Topic's defense is also a concern, as he has a wingspan (6-5½) shorter than
his height and isn't very agile operating out of a stance, lacking intensity
at times on that end of the floor.

需要進步的地方:Topic從來就不是個好射手，他本季29%的三分球命中率跟他的生涯差不多。不過因為他是個菁英的罰球投籃手(87%)且展現了很多運球後的投籃能力給他不少樂觀的空間。他有時候在換防後對上更瘦長的防守者會掙扎，而這也是因為他受傷而讓我們無法在歐洲聯盟觀察到的東西。Topic的防守也是個疑慮，他的臂展(6'5.5" 測之前有謠傳長達7尺，結果是唬爛)比他的身高還矮且他在姿勢跑掉之後動作並不敏捷，造成他經常在防守端強度不足。

先翻到這裡 這4個應該大家也比較有興趣XD
剩下的我晚點再補上
