Noa Essengue and Ben Saraf of ratiopharm Ulm will likely be picked quite early in the distribution of talents.
Whether Noa Essengue and Ben Saraf will be present at the NBA Draft in New York remains unclear. However, it is almost certain that the two professionals from BBL finalist ratiopharm Ulm will be picked quite early in the distribution of talents to the clubs from the North American basketball league.
Essengue (18) is even a Top 10 candidate; for ESPN, the Frenchman could go to the Toronto Raptors as number nine. Other forecasts see the forward a little further back, but Essengue is almost certainly in the first round.
Draft Candidates: Noa Essengue and Ben Saraf (r.)
Saraf (19) could also be among the first 30 picks, but when considering the predictions, it is more likely that the Israeli will be selected early in the second round.
It is certain which name will be called first on stage. College star Cooper Flagg (18) from the Duke Blue Devils is going to the Dallas Mavericks; the Texans were very lucky (1.8 percent chance) to win the draft lottery and can therefore pick at number one.
