Another young French draftee from Wembanyama's 2023 class, Portland shooting guard Rayan Rupert, was selected with the No. 43 pick. Speaking recently with, Rupert revealed that he's known Risacher literally for decades. He offered up his own scouting report..
“It’s funny because my dad used to play with his dad when we were three years old ,” Rupert said."We used to play together a lot when we were babies. That’s my guy. He’s very good, still pretty young but he also has tons of versatility, he’s everywhere on the court. I think he’s gonna have a bright future.”
“He’s a great player, very versatile," Rupert noted."He can do a lot of things on the court and is a good guy off the court as well. He’s gonna be a very good player in the NBA, I’m excited for him,” Rupert said of Sarr.
