The French had a complicated evening in the NBA on Monday night. Out of the six players that were lined up, only Pacôme Dadiet (New York Knicks) tasted victory, but with only two minutes of play at the end of the game. Together, the tricolors have only scored 14 points in 126 cumulative minutes.
Rayan Rupert (Portland) did his best despite his team’s loss against Memphis (123-98). The former New Zealand Breakers signed his best performance of the season with 9 points in 22 minutes, adding 1 rebound, 1 assist, 1 block and 1 steal. But his skill is still perfect (3/8 shooting, 0/3 three-pointer).
The other Blues struggled to shine. Zacharie Risacher (Atlanta) scored only 5 points in 17 minutes in a loss against Dallas (129-119). Nicolas Batum (Clippers), Moussa Diabaté and Tidjane Salaün (Charlotte) were hidden, despite a lot of playing time for the last two, who only got three points between them. An evening to forget for the French group.
