Hornets' Tidjane Salaun: Scores eight points Saturday
Salaun logged eight points (3-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds and one assist over 14 minutes in Saturday's 94-90 Summer League win over the Knicks.
Selected with the No. 6 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Salaun is considered a long-term bet on upside for the Hornets. In the short term, the Hornets could utilize his wingspan, athleticism and defensive energy off the bench. While playing for Cholet in France in the 2023-24 season, the forward averaged 9.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.0 assists.

Hornets' Tidjane Salaun: Out of Hornets' minicamp
Salaun will be unavailable for the Hornets' minicamp due to a minor laceration near his knee.
The No. 6 overall pick in the 2024 Draft is expected to miss the club's minicamp in Sacramento on Tuesday, but he will likely be available for Summer League. The 18-year-old played for Cholet in France in the 2023-24 season, during which he averaged 9.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.0 assists across 22.7 minutes per game.

Tidjane Salaun: Selected No. 6 by Charlotte
Salaun has been selected with the No. 6 pick by the Hornets in the 2024 NBA Draft.
Salaun, out of French team Cholet, is an athletic power forward with a clean shooting stroke, and he's gifted at creating offense off the ball. He's also a gritty defender, but the 18-year-old does have room to grow as a ball handler. However, he'll find himself in a crowded forward rotation, competing for minutes with the likes of Brandon Miller, Grant Williams and potentially Miles Bridges, if Bridges comes back as a free agent. It's not an ideal situation for the rookie Salaun in terms of fantasy hoops.
