Draymond Green Refuses to Admit Europe is Taking Over NBA, Despite Zaccharie Risacher & French Prospects’ Draft Night Domination

Nope! Nada! Nuh-uh! Not happening! There’s no way all the talking heads can claim that European players are taking over the NBA, right? It is the popular chatter among the basketball community now, after all. They only became fierce with the consecutive NBA drafts featuring French players being taken in as No. 1 picks. 2023 saw the “generational talent” Victor Wembanyama go to Spurs. This year, it moved to the next level with the top two picks going to Zaccharie Risacher and Alexandre Sarr, both fine Frenchmen. Yet, Draymond Green would sooner bite his tongue than agree there was even a possibility of such a thing.

Then again, DrayMagic usually does present perspectives that are in contrast with the popular opinion. And they do make sense in a roundabout way. Anyway, it wouldn’t harm to listen to what he has to say on the matter. The latest episode of The Draymond Green Show was dedicated to the trade, Bronny James, and the NBA draft.

But he couldn’t start without addressing the European players taking over the American basketball league chatter. “I’m not sure we’ve still reached a day of where a European guy is the face of the NBA because the NBA is an American League. I’m just not sure we’ve hopped that hurdle yet.” Green said.
