Tidjane Salaun: WELCOME TO THE HORNETS | 2024 NBA Draft Scouting Report
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 чер 2024
- Everyone is looking for the next Giannis in the draft. A late lottery to mid 1st player who is raw but ends up developing into an absolute dominant force that changes the direction of a franchise. The thing about a Giannis is, you never can actually predict it. No one knows who is going to make that crazy leap as a player, and who is going to stagnate and become a wasted pick. But you can TRY to predict it, and the player people have considered the closest to what Giannis looked like as a prospect is Tidjane Salaun out of France. Now, their play styles are not the same, but the narrative around their games are almost identical. Giannis was a raw player who had crazy physical tools but had so little experience or production against high level competition that he was considered a pure home run swing project. Salaun is the same. His tools and flashes are on the level where you could see him become a true superstar out of this class, but his raw ability and inconsistencies also leaves it as a distinct possibility he falls out of the league in the coming years. What version of Salaun will the NBA get? Today, we look at the pros of his game the cons, and try to see what kind of player Salaun will be at the NBA level, and if he truly is worth that gamble relatively early in the first. So with all that, let’s get into it.
Welcome to the channel! Over my life, I have developed a passion for diving deep into the stats, history, and play styles of various basketball players and teams, and in my opinion no better way to get those ideas out there than through rankings, comparisons and tier lists.
I tend to discuss detailed breakdowns of individual players' strengths and weaknesses, their historical achievements, and their current performance on the court, to determine where they rank in the list in question.
The tier lists are carefully crafted to reflect the latest trends and developments in the league, and I always stay up to date with the latest news and analysis.

You called it! Go Hornets 🎉
He edited the title.
Makes alot of sense...lol!@CarolinaSportz
@@CarolinaSportz😂😂😂
As much as I wish I called it, @CarolinaSportz is correct lol. I like the pick for y’all though. High risk high reward player
@hoophierarchy We'll see. I'm cautiously optimistic about the Hornets' future.
5 days ago is crazy
Had me like what da fuqq
@@raymayo7044been predicting he was going to Charlotte for a month now he fits their team and the time schedule
Very objective and accurate study for a project but I think with the mindset of Salaun and work ethics he will be at minimum a very good player
He knew
BRO. YOU A VISIONARY
His grip hand ... wow. Super glue.
Needs to tighten his handle, and build a jump shot. He's more two level than three level scorer.
Glad the Hornets head coach has brought in a very good shooting coach.
He’s got some ways to go, but he’s got insane potential at the same time
Let’s go Hornets! 🗣️🐝
All the vids I watched you was right. You won the mock draft title. Lockedon missed this one lol
OKC does it again !! I’m calling it now
PROPHET !!
Of all the things about Giannis he could emulate I really hope its the DPOY.
Blazers will pick him at 7. Not a doubt in my mind.
I feel he would learn a lot behind a Jerami Grant if he went to Portland
@hoophierarchy hopefully jerami doesn't teach him how to not rebound.
@@rjejames28 hahaha. Tough but fair.
@VocalChainsStudio I like jerami but he definitely has his flaws, he would be a great number 4 to a high level team.
Only reason I'm watching this video is because I see you called it.🤷🏿♂️
Hopefully you make me feel better.😁
For what it’s worth he’s extremely high potential. Not ready to play now but could be the best player in the draft
I feel like we could’ve traded down to get him. Unless we plan on tanking, I don’t see him playing very much for the Hornets. Unless he’s looking like a beast in the g league. This will definitely put the new development team to the test.
Spurs wanted him at 8
I hope he’s the guy! Let’s go Hornets 🎉
Great job, Nostradamus! 😅
Castle with the 4th pick and salaun with the 8 pick
Josh Smith!!!? "Stay off the weduhhhhh!!!"
What Ball brother is this now ?
I get that the idea of the "the next Giannis" can simply mean a mid 1st that ends up being great rather than actually being a similar player to Giannis, but this guy doesn't really look or sound anything like what Giannis was as a prospect. Could still be a good player and maybe we even see his development take a weird turn where he ends up being in the same style as Giannis, but I feel like their strengths and weaknesses as prospects (outside of some physical tools) are nothing alike.
I agree with you. I’ve heard the comparison be made frequently that because he’s in a similar place Giannis was as a prospect coming in (raw, but extremely talented) that he’s the “Giannis of this draft” so it’s really moreso asking “is he really the Giannis of this draft like people are saying?” As opposed to me actually claiming he’s like Giannis as a player, which he is not.
Bro he’s raw like young giannis
They're not comparing anything other than potential. He is coming in as a guy that could be possibly great or a bust. Time will tell.
this is a good one along with lamelo
I love Salaun but he's no Giannis - at least in type of game.
Salaun is more Obi Toppin, Aaron Gordon-esque level power forward with intriguing defensive tools and hopefully an improved jumper and that is still a good player.
Aaron Gordon is a great take
He cannot finish at the basket in traffic at all.
@saleemkirmani5583 Yeah, it looks like he learned how to play 2 years ago
Imagine Salaun falls to Miami Heat. 👀
Their player development would help him reach his max potential.
No one likes Miami, and he won't fall that far
🎉🎉🎉🎉
I'm banking on Portland taking him. What are the odds the Blazers trade Anfernee Simons to the Spurs for the 4th pick and get a guy like Buzelis or Clingan as well? Crazy talk, I know.
Probably low, but I’d be interested to see if they did do something like that
Another french monster is coming next draft: Nolan Traoré (PG, 2006, 6'3). Keep your eyes on him.
France really producing a ton of elite talent right now
I’m sure I’ll do a profile on him for the next draft season
I want the Spurs to take him. He'll quite possibly be the worst player in the league on opening day. BUt he's just so bloody young, fairly new to basketball, and his measurables are insane. And I honestly believe if he's on the same team as Wemby, he'll adopt his work ethic because he looks up to him so much.
I do think Salaun is driven to be great. He did recently say he plans on being the best French player in the NBA lol
He has the same work ethic than Wemby, and the most Important, they are Friends, in fact all their families are Friends. And Wemby said he wants to play with him.. He's the better choice for the Spurs.
Same man... I want the Spurs to develop him, he can be something big imo
Hornets
His name prononciation tidjan salaun prononciation Salin in french
Thanks. I try to get as close to the correct pronunciation as possible but it doesn’t always end up that way lol
I hope he’s more of a Blake Griffin
Raptors find a way to get him plz
Definitely seems like the type of player the Raptors go for
How tf did he know?
Welcome to spurs
Think he would fit in there for sure
No
WTH!!! I now know its scripted
