The NBA Draft is split into two days in 2024 and we have a Round 1 breakdown.
The top ten picks for the 2024 NBA Draft are below:
1. Hawks: Zaccharie Risacher
2. Wizards: Alex Sarr
3. Rockets: Reed Sheppard
4. Spurs: Stephon Castle
5. Pistons: Ron Holland II
6. Hornets: Tidjane Salaun
7. Blazers: Donovan Clingan
8. Wolves: Rob Dillingham
9. Grizzlies: Zach Edey
10. Jazz: Cody Williams
Yet another Frenchman, Zaccharie Risacher, has been named the top pick for the Hawks and it's safe to say, the French natives of the NBA are very happy about it.

Not everyone was happy, including former NBA player Frank Mason III, who played with Risacher in the French tournament.
The youngster played in France this past season; even if he is the first pick in the NBA lol, but I guess!

The Wizards' number two scorer, Alexandre Sarr, is also from France.
It was France's take on the league this season, as the number one and two picks, as well as Rookie of the Year, Wemby, and Defensive Player of the Year, Rudy Gobert, were from France.
The Rockets' number three, Reed Sheppard, is arguably the best shooter in this draft class as he made over 52 percent of his three-pointers at Kentucky.
Some of the best and funniest reactions to the draft on X are below:
