What place in Oklahoma?
Unlike his model Toumani Camara, who landed in a Portland franchise in full reconstruction, Ajay Mitchell will arrive in a team already ready to win the Larry O’Brien trophy. Led by a superstar, Shai Gilgeous Alexander, and a talented young lieutenant in the person of Chet Holmgren, who took the Thunder to the semi-finals of the Western Conference last season. Therefore, finding a place in this team will not be easy for the 22-year-old player who should have less playing time than Toumani.
Bronny James like father like son?
If the first round of the Draft highlighted the French talent pool with three players in the top 6, the attraction of the second round was Bronny James, the son of NBA megastar Lebron James. And we had to wait a little while to see him get up from his seat and go put on the cap of the… Lakers. Who had the 55th pick in the second round of the Draft and whose suspense around the identity of the player they were going to select was artificial. Lebron James will therefore play with his son in the NBA next season and it is a first in history. But does this choice respond to a sporting logic? Probably not. Considering the bumpy season – he suffered a cardiac arrest during a training session last summer – and relatively mediocre (5.1 points on average) of the son of the Ohio legend with the USC Trojans. “There are probably three rounds of prospects with more talent than him in this class.”castigated an NBA general manager, in comments reported by TrashTalk. But what does it matter to Bronny because by playing with his dad he too will fulfill his childhood dream.
