In addition to Yves Pons and Joël Ayayi, two Frenchies who passed through the NCAA box to arrive at the NBA Draft, a handful of other French prospects had registered, initially, on the lists of the Great League.
But this July 19, 2021 is the deadline to withdraw his name if the discussions with the NBA franchises were not necessarily convincing, and after the NCAA players, it is the turn of international players still undecided whether or not to validate their registration.
For Malcolm Cazalon in this case, it will be for next year. The young French winger who played this season at KK Mega Basket in Serbia has finally decided, in agreement with his agent, to postpone his departure for the United States. Already engaged with the Auckland Breakers, the young shooter Hugo Besson has also logically withdrawn his name.
Conversely, the back of Paris Basket (who will be 19 on August 7), Juhann Bégarin has decided to stay in this upcoming Draft class. After a season of 12 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists in Pro B, the native of Abymes, in Guadeloupe, could be the subject of a selection in the second round, where many prospects with high potential are chosen to be placed in incubator.
Juhann Begarin – a projected early second round pick – will keep his name in the 2021 NBA draft, his agent Bouna Ndiaye told ESPN. Begarin, coming off a strong season in France, is one of the youngest players in the class at 18-years old.
