Tidjane Salaun has submitted paperwork to the NBA office making him eligible for the 2024 draft.
Salaun is a projected top-15 pick in the draft and a 6'10 forward. Salaun is averaging 9.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1 steal in 23 minutes per game for Cholet.
"The NBA has always been a dream of mine, but recently it's become a goal," Salaun said. "It's just the logical next step for me. I learned a lot of things on and off the court this season. I'm ready to make a big step now for the next level."
Salaun has made 75 3s in his 54 games, many of which came pulling up off the dribble or running off movement.
"I am an energizer for my team," Salaun said. "I always give 100 percent, bringing a lot of intensity and hustle. There is a fire in me that pushes me to be my best on every play."
Salaun doesn't turn 19 until August.
