Sekou Doumbouya, a forward born in Guinea but with French nationality, has become the sixth signing for MoraBanc Andorra. The player from Conakry, 23 years old and 2.06 meters tall, signs a one-season contract coming from Chorale Roanne Basket of the French LNB Pro A and with an NBA background, as he was the 15th pick in the 2019 draft.
Former Pistons player Sekou Doumbouya signed with French team Chorale Roanne for the remainder of the 2023-24 season.
Wembanyama is not alone. Bilal Coulibaly, his teammate last season with Mets 92, has quietly impressed with the Washington Wizards. In ESPN's latest mock draft, French prospects account for three of the top six projected picks. Alex Sarr, No. 1, plays for the NBL's Perth Wildcats, while Nos. 2 and 6, Zaccharie Risacher and Tidjane Salaun, play in the LNB. "We have a new wave of players coming up," Fournier, the New York Knicks veteran who first suited up for the French national team at the 2014 FIBA World Cup, said. "We have guys that are going to be drafted in the next three years that have real potential, and I think it's an exciting time to be a French fan, period. Because when you look at the cycle that we had, the last guy that got drafted that was playing, really, was Rudy. Frank [Ntilikina] has been unfortunately struggling, Killian Hayes is struggling, Sekou Doumbouya is struggling. So to have a young player that comes in and has an impact -- [Wembanyama] and Bilal -- it's great for France to have new faces."
