It's clear that France made a massive statement at the NBA Draft, becoming the first non-U.S. country to produce three top-10 picks in the same draft and having a French player go No. 1 overall for the second straight season. With players like Zaccharie Risacher leading the charge, it seems like France is truly establishing itself as a talent hub in basketball.
