Nolan Traore was consistent throughout the week, displaying impressive maturity, pace, and feel for the game each day of practice, as well as scoring 18 points in the actual game on Saturday. His name was buzzing in gyms all week, and his teammates raved about him after Saturday’s game. World team teammate AJ Dybantsa told the media that he learned a lot from Nolan, “who sees the game differently.” VJ Edgecombe said, “Nolan is the best point guard I’ve ever played with. He taught me a lot. He led our team.”
Traore will enter the 2025 Draft cycle steadily in the first-round conversation, possessing solid positional size at 6-foot-4 with broad shoulders and a 6-foot-8 wingspan. The game comes easy to him; he plays with an effortless flow, great pick-and-roll reads, feel for the game, and instincts as a passer. He controls the pace of the game, is quick off the dribble, can finish with both hands, and shoot. He recently joined the French first division team Saint Quentin. I would be surprised if he went the college route ahead of the 2025 NBA Draft.
