He may not be a lottery pick like Victor Wembanyama, Zaccharie Risacher, or Alex Sarr, but coming from France there’s another valuable talent circulating around the NBA.
It’s the case of 2023-24 BKT EuroCup champ Nadir Hifi, who’s living a hell of a 2024 NBA Summer League with the Minnesota Timberwolves after a successful season in Paris. Coming off the bench in the 105-94 win over Indiana, he erupted for 18 points over 7/7 from the charity stripe.
Matas Buzelis also had an exciting showcase for Chicago despite the 92-82 loss to the Golden State Warriors. The face of Lithuanian basketball for the future dropped 28 points – including a thunderous poster dunk -, 5 rebounds, and 2 steals.
23-year-old German forward Tristan da Silva, who recently joined his countrymen Moritz and Franz Wagner in Orlando, also shone with 23 points (8/13 FG, 4/4 FT) in the win over New Orleans.
