The 7-foot-4 phenom Victor Wimbanyama became the first French player ever to be selected overall in the NBA Draft When the San Antonio Spurs picked him up Thursday night. Next year, Zaccharie Risacher has a chance to become the second.

Risacher is a 6-9 winger who is already a versatile defender and shooter despite the fact that he only turned 18 in April. He is the son of a former professional basketball player and will join the ever-growing list NBA Players along with their family members were also professional athletes.
Which brings me to Broni James.
LeBron James’ eldest son is the most high-profile prospect who is projected to be in the 2024 NBA Draft after spending one season playing for Andy Enfield at USC – and I’m not ruling out the possibility that he might turn out to be a lottery pick that some already think he is. But, for now, I expect younger James to go somewhere the outside From the lottery, though, there’s always a chance the franchise could hit with the idea that if you recruit a younger James, you’ll have a good chance of also signing his father, who happens to be the NBA’s all-time leading scorer and someone who still plays at a high level. In his thirties.
