Tidjane Salaun reacts to Hornets’ NBA Draft selection

The Charlotte Hornets got their guy in Tidjane Salaun out of the 2024 NBA Draft with the sixth pick. He's not exactly the player most fans probably thought would be selected here, but it makes sense. Salaun is a young, athletic forward that has the ability to block shots, space the floor, and move well without the basketball. He was also the third player taken out of France alongside Zaccharie Risacher and Alex Sarr.

“This is the beginning of big things,” Salaun said when he was asked about how it felt to be drafted.
