Vincent Collet on Joel Embiid: “I don’t see why I wouldn’t select him”

Le feuilleton « Joel Embiid in a team of France ” continues. After Moustapha Fall and Rudy Gobert, who both spoke out in favor of the arrival of the pivot of the Sixers at the Blues, it is now the turn of Vincent Collet to comment on this possibility.

And for the tricolor coach, yet provided at post 5, there is obviously no doubt to have when it comes to a player of MVP caliber.

« When it’s fully selectable, I don’t see why I wouldn’t select it “, he responds thus, in a press conference. ” We have always taken the best players and I consider that from the moment he is selectable, he belongs to this category. »

Since Friday, the players of the French team have met in the Paris region to launch their training camp for Euro 2022.

Too physically and administratively fair, Joel Embiid is not in the game and we will therefore not be able to see him wearing the Blues jersey before the 2023 World Cup, except for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

« He would have liked to play this summer “Admits, however, Boris Diaw, the general manager of Team France Basket, who also admits to being in contact with the Cameroonian by birth. ” If he had been selectable and not injured, we would have asked the question. »

Suffice to say that the door is now wide open for the arrival of Joel Embiid in the French team. But to validate it, it will first be necessary for the neo-naturalized Frenchman to obtain a license from FIBA.
