Seven French people were on the starting line for this last night of the NBA. So between those who polished the bench and those who succeeded in their exit, what should we remember from this evening?
The results of the night
Zaccharie Risacher
Zacch' wasn't the most popular Hawk last night, but he was close to a double-double. Despite not crazy percentages (30% shooting in 13 attempts), the number 1 in the Draft finished with 8 points and 9 rebounds, but above all a nice hold-up against the Celtics.
Moussa Diabaté
Moussa Diabaté had the best night for the French in the NBA.
The Hornet continues to make its hole in the Hornets' hive. Mouss' achieved the first double-double of his career with 12 points and 15 rebounds in 30 minutes despite his team's defeat against the Magic.

Tidjane Salaün
Certainly not the most memorable match of Tidjane Salaün's career. Only three small points on the clock with only one successful shot out of his six attempts. An evening to forget.
Pacôme Dadiet
Pacôme Dadiet had courtside seats to see this NBA Cup match between 76ers and Knicks. Tom Thibodeau must have believed he was actually a spectator since he didn't bring him into play.
Guerschon Yabusele
For his first collaboration with Joel Embiid, Guerschon produced a very dull copy. Only 3 points and 8 rebounds at 1/8 shooting, Yabu was a reflection of the overall performance of the 76ers, well below expectations if not to say bad.
Rudy Gobert
Out of sight, Rudy Gobert took a mixtape from Robert Williams. This sentence alone is enough to sum up the bad evening that Gobzilla had. An anecdotal stat line at 9 points and 8 rebounds. On the other hand, the defeat against the Blazers is a task.
Rayan Rupert
Rayan Rupert had the right to his usual 10 minutes and he didn't burst the screen. Only 2 points and 2 rebounds for the Blazers player. A performance that will not go down in history, but which is not a failure.
An outing in total indifference like the French performances last night, if we omit Moussa Diabaté.
