You've seen an influx of that over the past few drafts, Wemby, etc.,

But all of them are centers for the most part.

So next, whatever cycle we're on here, this is the lineup that the French team can throw out there.

Okay.

Wemby, Rudy Gobert, Alex Saar, Moussa Diabate, and Yabasele.

Wow.

With Reynaud and Johan Berger coming off the bench.

That is seven centers who could reasonably be in international competition.

Obviously, they won't all make it.

That's pretty wild.

But those are all NBA players and they're all like 6'10 and above.

It's like a collection where I'm almost wondering like what's going on with the tall people in France?

Like did they all just get together and decide like we're going to take over basketball, but we're going to start from an early age almost like they do in China where they kind of really just like identify tall people and all of a sudden like you're a basketball player and that's it.

It's not the baguettes that they're all consuming?

I mean, I guess I'm not surprised because as we look across the best players now and a lot of the overseas influence that is matriculating into the league...

A lot of the best players tend to be big guys who are skilled.

Jokic, Wemby, Giannis, all that.

I mean, maybe they're just like getting the skill to these guys earlier than even America is.

But I was assuming that like at this point, all of the best bigs are coming already.

If not shooting threes, certainly getting on that path and like are going to get there eventually.
