He would be the clear consensus #1 overall pick his year if he were old enough. He would never drop to #2 for Washington to have a shot at him.
So it's the 2nd best league of U18s in the world?
Which would indeed be his peers.
He would be the clear consensus #1 overall pick his year if he were old enough. He would never drop to #2 for Washington to have a shot at him.
Then he’s playing against the BEST youth league players that feed into the second best league in the world. Still not chumps.
I thought Boozers kid was the can't miss #1.
Or is that 2026 draft?
Tbh he has already has shown that he could perform against the very best french teams.
As a 17 yo who only played 7 pro games before, he joined Saint Quentin late march and didn't practice with them. He still relegated Lucas Boucaud, his team most impactful player this season, to garbage minutes and instantly became the best player on a playoff team. He's the youngest player to have scored 25 points in the french league.
And he didn't do it against college kids or those u18 players, he did it against ASVEL, one of the top 3 clubs in france and an Euroleague team.
He has the complete skillset for a PG, he's an outstanding floor general, a way above-average athlete, with the speed, burst and verticality to project himself as a great slasher in the nba and his defense is almost better than his offense.
You can say he's Topic with defense and better athleticism
Now it is true that his outside shooting is the swingskill that will determine his ceiling.

It's 2026, but he's got compe ion from Dybantsa for #1.
This is a 2022 article saying he was good to go in 2025.
Did things happen in between?
The No. 1 player in the 2025 class, Cameron Boozer, talks early offers and advice from his father - Yahoo Sports
Yup, Dybantsa happened.... some mocks still have Boozer at #1, but some have Dybantsa now. It'll be an interesting back and forth between the two.
As for the 2025 ref, that must have been a typo.
Are any of these guys can't miss?
I mean another Lebron / Wemby is too high a level.
But are any of these good starting 5 NBA career level for sure?
Like a Banchero. May or may not reach MVP level but for sure is All Star.
If we're talking about 2026, I really haven't dug into that yet. I know the two at the top because they're already getting so much attention. I'm just getting into the 2025 stuff now. On 2025, as of now, there are probably a dozen to 15 players I'd take over anyone in this 2024 draft.
Yeah, no doubt he's one of the top PGs of his generation. The confidence, the maturity, the precocity are impressive. What's striking is where you wonder with most prosepcts if they belong to the NBA, Nolan has NBA written all over him, and you can already see at 17 the player he's gonna be in in the US, like it's obvious, right there in front of you.
TP didn't even have that "floor generalness" at 18, and never really had tbh as Parker never was your traditional playmaking PG.
He's class of 2025 to go to college (hence the talk about offers for which college to play for). 2026 for NBA draft.
Was going to make a thread on this. It won't happen, but wouldn't it be some ballsy chess high risk / high reward if it was pulled off.
Trade one of our 24s, maybe even both of them to a team that is very highly likely to not only be a 25 lottery team, but a bottom 4 record team.
I know, that's alot to predict, especially since the 24 draft has not taken place yet.
But wouldn't it be sweet to get a much better two 2025 can't miss picks that can ride with Wemby for 10 years vs 2024s maybes.
Aha so 2025 he cannot enter the NBA draft.
Yeah,no one is doing that. I’ve seen several different variants on this, but everyone knows the weakness in this draft, and the strength of 2025 and 2026. I don’t think 1 and 2 in this draft could get you a pick in the top5 next year.
It would incredible if that happened, but nobody out there is doing that. The closest might be something with Chicago to lighten their protections.
Cooper Flagg and Cameron Boozer were in the same high school grade at one point, but Flagg reclassified to graduate early. Flagg's birth date is Dec 21st, 2006 meaning he'll be playing college ball at age 17/18 and will barely turn 19 in his NBA Draft calendar year of 2025. He'll still be 18 in his first NBA game.
On the other hand, Boozer's birthday is July 2007 and isn't eligible to be drafted until he turns 19 in 2026.
Point guards take forever to develop in the NBA. Wemby will be pushing his way out by the time this kid is ready to win. No way!
That's the smartest move, specially watching Wemby and Zach these past two years. He aldredy got and willl keep on getting all the attention and space he needs to develop his game in his team in Pro A.
Special player and future star, I hope he can sneak his way to the Olympics french roster tbh.. Just saw on the article he was second best passer per minute in the french league after he joined it mid season, at 17... He's really not just a slasher and should have an immediate impact as soon as he joins the NBA, like TP did.
Sure, let's trade for Josh ing Giddey instead
It wouldn't make sense to not bring him to the Olympics. Let's hope the FFBB doesn't mess up
french roster has been anounced already and Nolan is only been added as "sparring partner" right now (and is supposed to play the U18 euro in Finland ths summer) but I'm not sure exactly when the official list has to be given to the FIBA and if french federation and coach consider changing the list.
Nolan says in the article he hopes to make the team so maybe it's possible, or Givony misunderstood, but there would be a path if you ask me with Killian Hayes, Theo Maledon or Frank Ntilikina as other options at PG... Would be fun to watch the kid play with Wemby in Paris.

None of them represents the futur tho
We know Kilian sucks but have you followed the other 2 this season?
Welcome.
