Adam Atamna, the only Frenchman present in ESPN’s first 2026 mock draft
It is no longer Jonathan Givony who is in charge of the draft at ESPN, as the specialist failed to reach an agreement with the American media on a contract extension. So now it’s time for Jeremy Wu, his student.
And the latter just published his first mock draft for 2026. No surprises on the podium since we found it there Darrin PetersonKansas point guard, AJ DibantsBIU wing, i Cameron Boozer, inside Duke. For now, it’s in this order, but it may vary during the season…
What is unlikely to change, however, is the fact that no Frenchman should be selected in the first round this year. There is actually only one French basketball player in the ESPN Top 60, who is only in the 51st position. It’s aboutAdam Atamna (1m88), ASVEL defender who will celebrate his 18th birthday in December.
With his rare profile in French basketball “sniper”, the son of Karim Atamna, especially recorded a match with 24 points against Monaco in Betclic Elite, or another with 18 points against Chalon.
What to turn to Averaged 9.6 points, 2.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 8 games in the French Championship, with a 47% shooting success rate including 40% on 3-pointers and good progress in his reading of the game.
