The Charlotte Hornets took a swing at a long, talented French froward named Tidjane Salaun with the sixth overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft.
Salaun is 19 years old with designs on becoming one of the best Eastern Conference forwards by the time his career is over in North Carolina with new Hornets coach Charles Lee's team.
Salaun participated in this year's NBA Summer League and showed lots of promise amid a competitive atmosphere fostered by the high profile participation of the Lakers' Bronny James, Donovan Clingan and several other exciting young players.
Unfortunately for Hornets fans, the French forward showed he still has a long way to go before becoming one of the better players in the 2024 Draft class.
