Maxime Raynaud’s stock skyrocketed before the draft, with some even predicting he’d be a top 15 pick. Due to their French connection, San Antonio was mentioned as a potential destination, and fans debated the Stanford center.
While no French players are expected to be involved in the battle for the podium on draft night, we will once again be proudly represented in a few weeks. Several French players are expected to be called up in the first round, and one of them has been on the rise for the past few weeks: Maxime Raynaud.
Excellent this season at Stanford, the center was more than convincing at the Draft Combine, drawing praise from top draft experts. Initially projected for the second round, he’s now in the lottery discussion. It remains to be seen where he might land, and while we wait to find out, some Spurs fans have already made up their minds:
Maxime Raynaud at Spurs, good choice or not?
@CastleFor3 : If Carter Bryant isnt available at 14 this is the most obvious pick ever
With a body profile similar to Jakob Poeltl and a playing style reminiscent of Kristaps Porzingis, Raynaud has some assets to offer. And since San Antonio is used to French players, many are excited:
@SpurKee14 : I’d take Raynaud over Bryant. Friend of Wemby too, which should not be underestimated.
@xX_AlmightyK_Xx : With the Victor connection it’s more obvious!
That being said, it’s not wise to assume that the young Frenchman is the unanimous choice. In fact, a number of Spurs fans would prefer the franchise to bet on one of his compatriots, namely Noa Essengue:
@roaring_reigns : If you want someone French, just take Noa
@KoopaBowser21 : What about Noah essengue
@Canibleedhimbet : Id rather Fleming or essengue
See you at the end of June to find out what the executives in San Antonio will do.
