Role
Salaun is a rotation big still growing into his lottery-pick frame. He has real tools: size, mobility and a developing jumper. Charlotte is patient with the 21-year-old Frenchman as the game slows down for him.
How he got here
Charlotte drafted Salaun sixth overall in 2024 and signed him on July 3, 2024.
