ESPN analyst names Joan Beringer as favorite European draft prospect
Joan Beringer is projected to be a potential first-round pick in the 2025 NBA draft, and the Frenchman recently earned praise from ESPN analyst Fran Fraschilla. Beringer is averaging 4.9 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.4 blocks on 61% shooting from the field in 51 games with Cedevita Olimpija in Slovenia. He has scored in double figures six times, including a season-high 12 points and five rebounds on March 4. Advertisement The 6-foot-11 forward boasts a reported 7-foot, 4-inch wingspan and is highly touted for his versatility, athleticism and rim protection. He is considered raw offensively, but has the tools to develop into a productive player at the next level, which has stood out to Fraschilla. Beringer has also represented France internationally at the 2024 FIBA U18 EuroBasket. He averaged 9.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.1 blocks and one assist on 70.5% shooting from the field in seven games, helping France to a fifth-place finish in Finland. The 18-year-old is among a talented group of international prospects, joining the likes of Noa Essengue, Kasparas Jakučionis, Khaman Maluach, Ben Saraf and Nolan Traoré, among others. They are all considered first-round picks, with some expected to go in the lottery. Advertisement Beringer will be a late arrival to the United States for the predraft process, with Cedevita Olimpija on track to qualify for the ABA League playoffs next month. He will likely have the opportunity to participate in a draft combine in June for prospects still playing with their international teams. The 2025 NBA draft will occur June 25-26 in New York City.

Projected first-round pick Nolan Traoré declares for 2025 NBA draft
Projected first-round pick Nolan Traoré declares for 2025 NBA draft French point guard Nolan Traoré told ESPN on Thursday that he is declaring for the 2025 NBA draft after playing with Saint-Quentin in the Pro A League. Traoré, the younger brother of Lakers rookie Armel Traoré, is averaging 11.7 points, 4.8 assists and 1.9 rebounds on 40.2% shooting from the field in 38 games. He has registered five 20-point games, including a season-high 27 points and five assists on Oct. 1. The 6-foot-4 guard is projected to be a first-round pick, given his ability in transition to setting the table on offense in the half-court. He has had some inconsistent showings in the competitive French League, but he has the potential to be an elite playmaker, with his feel, instincts and passing. Traoré, who turns 19 next month, put himself on the radar after a great offseason last year, representing France in the Nike Hoop Summit and FIBA U18 EuroBasket. He averaged 14 points, 9.3 assists and 3.6 rebounds on 42.9% shooting from 3-point range as France finished fifth. He is among a talented group of international prospects, joining the likes of Joan Beringer, Noa Essengue, Kasparas Jakučionis, Khaman Maluach and Ben Saraf, among others. They are all considered first-round picks, with some expected to go in the lottery. Traoré could arrive late in the United States for the predraft process, with Saint-Quentin in the hunt for the playoffs next month. He will likely have the opportunity to participate in a draft combine in June for prospects still playing with their international teams. The 2025 NBA draft will occur June 25-26 in New York City.

Spanish guard Hugo González, a projected first-round pick, declares for 2025 NBA draft
Spanish guard Hugo González, a projected first-round pick, declares for 2025 NBA draft Spanish guard Hugo González is reportedly declaring for the 2025 NBA draft after playing with Real Madrid, according to Jonathan Givony of ESPN. González is averaging 3.1 points and 1.7 rebounds on 40.8% shooting from the field in 53 appearances across all competitions in the EuroLeague and Spanish League. He has scored in double figures four times, including a season-high 14 points and five rebounds on Dec. 15. The 19-year-old has been with Real Madrid over the past three seasons, splitting time between its second team and main roster. He has played sparingly this season on a veteran-laden roster, though he has shown potential when given the opportunity to log significant minutes. González is considered a potential first-round pick this year, with his defensive versatility and ability to make impact plays. He hasn't yet developed a consistent 3-point shot, converting 29.2% on 1.2 attempts per game this season, but excels in every other offensive area. The 6-foot-7 prospect has represented Spain internationally several times at the junior level, most recently in the 2024 FIBA U18 EuroBasket. He was also called up to the senior team in February, averaging 10 points and 4.5 rebounds in two appearances in the FIBA EuroBasket 2025 qualifiers. González will likely be a late arrival to the United States for the predraft process, with Real Madrid expected to make a deep playoff run. He will likely have the opportunity to participate in a draft combine in June for prospects still playing with their international teams. The 2025 NBA draft will occur June 25-26 in New York City.
