Victor Wembanyama has just completed his first full calendar year in the NBA, and he did not fail to get people talking about him. The young Spurs interior confirmed the great promises placed in him, and according to a US expert, he would even be the great story of 2024.
It’s a new year that’s starting, and it could be a good one for French basketball. Already because the Blues will start Euro 2025 with the label of favorites in the competition, and they will have a strong chance of winning. Freddy Fauthoux is only at the beginning of his cycle at the head of the selection, but with players who shine in the NBA and EuroLeague, it is impossible not to be ambitious.
And then, the young generation who will carry the EDF will continue to progress. Bilal Coulibaly is taking on a new dimension with the Wizards for example, while his teammate Alexandre Sarr could become Rookie of the Year next spring. If we add to this the return to the forefront of Théo Maledon, the future of the Blues seems assured.
