There are fourteen of them this season. Fourteen French players to play in the NBA. We expect varying fortunes for everyone, from the rising superstar (Victor Wembanyama) to future veterans (Nicolas Batum) through the arrival of interesting young shoots (Bilal Coulibaly, Ousmane Dieng…) or confirmed leaders (Rudy Gobert). Fourteen Frenchies who will promote bread and calendos all season long, but above all fourteen Frenchies who will try one more push before the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. This week? Victor is in tough shape, Bilal is in great shape, Nico is back and Rudy is leader in the West.
# Victor Wembanyama (San Antonio Spurs)
The Spurs collect spankings and/or collective disasterclasses, and inevitably Victor Wembanyama’s performances are impacted. A full match once morest the Kings, a big record once morest Memphis (8 blocks), but overall clumsiness and basketball matches that are not. Individual domination when he plays on his advantages (size, mobility), but complications when he has to pass the ball and defend with five players. The season is going to be long, but Victor is learning. But the season is going to be long.
Victor Wembanyama’s stats this season in the NBA: 19.3 points on 42.9% shooting including 28.4% from parking and 77.8% on throws, 9.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.6 blocks in 30.2 minutes

# Rudy Gobert (Minnesota Timberwolves)
If Rudy Gobert and the Wolves offer an iron defense, a solid attack and the best record in the Western Conference, the bulk of the news of the week for Rudy Gobert is mainly focused around the “Draymond Green affair”, which received a five-match suspension for having savagely strangled the French pivot, who himself came to the rescue of his teammate Jaden McDaniels in a somewhat vehement manner. In the field ? Minnesota keeps winning and the project seems to be gone for good, 16 months following the arrival of Rudy once morest around a hundred draft picks.
Wolves @ Warriors: 9 points at 2/8 shooting and 5/6 shooting, 13 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks in 35 minutes Wolves @ Suns: 4 points at 2/5 shooting, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks in 25 minutes Wolves @ Pelicans: 17 points at 5/7 shooting and 7/10 shooting, 11 rebounds, 1 pass, 2 steals and 1 block in 34 minutes
Rudy Gobert’s stats this season in the NBA: 12.5 points at 65.2% shooting and 60% shooting, 12.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.8 steals and 2.2 blocks in 32.6 minutes

# Killian Hayes (Detroit Pistons)
Killian Hayes took his foot off the gas a bit this week, and he even ended up lowering his shoulder since he was out yesterday due to soreness in the aforementioned spot. Need to get back on track pretty quickly because the Pistons are crap and Monty Williams won’t hesitate to do new tests in his lineups.
Pistons vs Hawks: 8 points at 3/8 shooting including 1/3 from parking and 1/2 from shots, 3 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks in 23 minutes Pistons @ Cavs: 4 points at 2/6 at shooting including 0/2 from the parking lot, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block in 22 minutes Pistons @ Raptors: DNP
Killian Hayes’ stats this season in the NBA: 10.2 points on 39.7% shooting including 31.1% from the parking lot and 75% on throws, 3 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.6 once morest in 29.2 minutes
# Bilal Coulibaly (Washington Wizards)
Very good returns this week, for a player who is establishing himself as a real offensive threat in addition to being – already – one of the best outside defenders in the League. We don’t understand anything regarding the Wizards this season but we watch all the matches just for Bilal. And if that’s proof of his talent…
Wizards @ Raptors: 10 points at 4/7 shooting including 1/1 from parking and 1/3 from shots, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 1 block in 33 minutes Wizards vs Mavericks: 10 points at 4/5 at shooting including 2/2 from the parking lot, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block in 28 minutes Wizards vs Knicks: 6 points at 2/7 shooting including 0/3 from the parking lot and 2/3 from shots, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 once morest in 31 minutes
Bilal Coulibaly’s stats this season in the NBA: 8.2 points at 50% shooting including 43.2% from parking and 55.6% from shots, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 0.9 steal and 0.8 block in 26.2 minutes

# Nicolas Batum (Philadelphia Sixers)
Absent for personal reasons all week, Nico returned to action yesterday, just long enough to win his fifth game in… five games with the Sixers, just long enough to receive some praise from Joel Embiid and Patr Beverley. Glue guy is back, and way up in the Eastern Conference.

# Ousmane Dieng (Oklahoma City Thunder)
Visit to beIN last Sunday, passage to the G League this week for Ousmane. The shooter shot, let’s hope that he has reassured himself a little, and above all let’s hope that he will quickly rejoin Mark Daigneault’s group, who is living very well without him at the moment. Be careful, a clue may have slipped into the last sentence…

# Theo Maledon (Charlotte Hornets)
Theo is out of the rotation in Charlotte. LaMelo Ball is unplayable, Brandon Miller will soon leave only crumbs at position 2, Ish Smith is in the place and Frank Ntilikina will soon return. Heading to the Greensboro Swarm for the Curse?

# Rayan Rupert (Portland Trail Blazers)
Always ends of matches at the end of the bench in the NBA, neither tail nor head. In the G League, on the other hand, RR is having a blast, while waiting for better.

# Evan Fournier (New York Knicks)
Shock this week when we saw Evan Fournier enter the field at the end of the first quarter. A one-shot due to the cumulative absences of Barrett and Grimes, not sure that we won’t see Vavane on the floor once more anytime soon… In any case, Evan is one of the only undefeated players in the entire NBA this season.
