We’re going back to the basics this season! Every Sunday you will therefore find here everything you need to know regarding the French in the NBA, so as not to miss anything regarding the progress of Killian Hayes or the new life of Rudy Gobert in his pack of Wolves. This week ? The young leader of the Pistons has been demoted to the bench once more, Rudy Gobert is doing much better (the Wolves too), Nico Batum has become exclusive and Théo Maledon thinks he is Steph Curry in the G League.
# RUDY GOBERT
Back on the court following a week off due to a sore groin, Rudy is doing much better and the Wolves too. It’s back to winning, Anthony Edwards and D’Angelo are crazy, and Minny is back in the Top 6. What do the people want? 3-point stepbacks, of course.
- Wolves @ Rockets: 15 points at 5/8 shooting and 5/7 throwing, 16 rebounds, 1 assist and 4 blocks in 36 minutes
- Wolves @ Pelicans: 17 points at 7/12 shooting and 3/5 throwing, 12 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block in 35 minutes
- Wolves vs Grizzlies: 7 points at 3/5 in shooting and 1/2 in throws, 13 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 3 blocks in 31 minutes
- Wolves vs Kings: 13 points at 3/5 in shooting and 7/9 in throws, 14 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 once morest in 36 minutes
# EVAN FOURNIER
A small appearance in Toronto, rumor has it that the Knicks tried to leave him in Canada, then an intervention regarding the Embiid file in the French team. See you on deadline night?
- Knicks @ Raptors: 8 points at 3/9 shooting including 2/7 from the parking lot, 3 rebounds and 2 assists in 21 minutes
- Knicks vs Cavs : DNP
- Knicks @ Celtics : DNP
- Knicks @ Nets : DNP
# NICHOLAS BATUM
Too funny statistics, during his last five games Nico Batum has ONLY attempted shots from the parking lot. So yes, we know that he is now an elite 3 and D, but this is turning into an obsession, a bit like me and my fear of mushrooms, and misaligned cups in the cupboard, and the remaining toothpaste cap open, and… in short, Nico is only shooting 3-pointers, it’s funny but the main thing is elsewhere since the Clippers have five wins in a row.
- Clippers @ Mavericks: 8 points at 2/5 from the parking lot and 2/2 on throws, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks in 28 minutes
- Clippers @ Lakers: 4 points at 1/2 parking and 1/2 on throws, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 block in 24 minutes
- Clippers vs Spurs: 9 points 3/5 from the parking lot, 4 rebounds and 2 assists in 26 minutes
- Clippers @ Hawks: 8 points at 2/3 from the parking lot and 2/2 on throws, 2 rebounds and 1 assist in 21 minutes
# FRANK DOESN’T PLAY
Franky went two shots away from a very calm week, that was the analysis of the week. See you at the deadline?……
- Mavericks vs Clippers : DNP
- Mavericks vs Wizards : DNP
- Mavericks @ Suns: 0 point to 0/1 shooting and 1 assist in 8 minutes
- Mavericks @ Jazz: 6 points at 2/5 in shooting including 0/1 from the parking lot and 2/3 in throws, 2 rebounds and 1 assist in 12 minutes
# KILLIAN HAYES
Injured in the shoulder following sending a dozen grenades to the Accor Arena, Killian returned to business but… on the bench (like Isaiah Stewart). To see if the trend is confirmed next week but its production has remained almost the same, the important thing being to stay in shape and well in your head, here is a ready-made sentence.
- Pistons vs Bucks : DNP
- Pistons @ Nets: 16 points at 6/12 in shooting including 2/5 from the parking lot and 2/3 in throws, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals in 25 minutes
- Pistons vs Rockets: 8 points at 3/8 in shooting including 1/3 from the parking lot and 1/2 in throws, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 once morest in 24 minutes
# OUSMANE DIENG
He’s back! Very slowly because ahead of the scheduled date, the Frenchie of the Thunder will be able to participate in the funny end of the season for his team. So, rather tanking or rather play-in for OKC? And rather NBA or G League For Ousmanito?
- Thunder @ Nuggets : DNP
- Thunder vs Hawks: 5 points at 2/3 shooting including 1/2 from the parking lot, 2 rebounds and 1 assist in 11 minutes
- Thunder vs Cavaliers: 1 rebound and 1 assist in 10 minutes
# THEO MALEDON
A passage through the NBA box but, above all, 18 3-point shots attempted in two G League games. That is the stat, and it’s always a delight (NO) to see Theo start basketball games at position 3.
- Hornets @ Jazz : DNP
- Hornets @ Suns: 7 points at 3/5 shooting including 1/1 from the parking lot and 2 rebounds in 19 minutes
- Hornets vs Bulls : DNP
# MOUSSA DIABATE
Moussa is no longer the GOAT of G League, and he has got into the habit in recent weeks of going back and forth between the NBA and Ligue 2. Do not be transport phobic.
- Clippers @ Mavericks : DNP
- Clippers @ Lakers: 2 minutes of play
- Clippers vs Spurs: 2 points at 1/3 shooting, 1 rebound and 1 block in 7 minutes
- Clippers @ Hawks: 5 minutes of play
And in the G League
