Bro really said "see you in two years" to Kuzma when he was in France a while back lmao

This kid's a fucking legend

Other cool tidbits:

  • Tidjane's sister, Janelle Salaun, is on the French Women's National Basketball Team and he got into basketball by watching her play

  • Tidjane's already in the habit of lifting after every practice and has been for a bit

  • Janelle says he already has the right mindset where he doesn't let a couple bad games send him into a spiral. Just moves on to the next one each time & quickly bounces back from failure

  • The reason he loves eye of the tiger is bc the Rocky movies are his favorite (including Creed)

Also should note that the number he will wear is her number. though, she does not have it anymore, but he wants to carry on the legacy.

The kids attitude… he’s on another level. Last guy who worked his ass off for our team was Kemba. We haven’t had that gym rat in a minute. And his love for the game. I hope our coaching is good. There’s so much potential here

Really liking the personalities from our past few picks. They seem to have raw talents so it shouldn’t be that difficult to develop.

I love how he brings up trying to build relationships with his teammates off the court and bring a good vibe, that’s exactly what Brandon Miller said last year too
