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.
