For his first European match, Nolan Traoré (18) guided Saint-Quentin to victory in the Champions League.
For his big debut on the European scene, Nolan Traoré did not miss. The 18-year-old French leader was unstoppable during the great victory of Saint-Quentins against Kolossos de Rhodes (84-54), in the Basketball Champions League.
Nolan Traoré’s stats? 27 points on 9/18 shooting, including 4/10 from three-point range, 5 assists and 2 interceptions, all in less than 27 minutes. Which gives 25 evaluation, and a +25 for SQBB when the wonder is on the floor. Not bad for a player who was still playing in Nationale 1 with the Federal Center team a few months ago, before joining Saint-Quentin at the end of last season, before the Betclic Elite playoffs.
Nolan Traoré in the Top 5 of the next Draft?
” I am happy for him. He had a bit of a complex in the first two matches of the league, although it was better in Le Mans. There, tonight, he did what was expected of him, what he knew how to do. Good aggression, he is also skilled in the shot because he shoots in rhythm. And then there’s a stat that I really like tonight, it’s losing balls« ,
appreciated his coach Julien Mahé, in comments reported by BasketUSA.
Nolan Traoré will continue to raise his rating with this type of performance, which will allow NBA recruiters to know the route of Saint-Quentin this season. After Victor Wembanyama, Zaccharie Risacher and Alexandre Sarr, French basketball should have another player drafted very high next year. Nolan Traoré is now announced between the 4th and 6th choice.
