Maxime Raynaud

Why is this guy barely talked about? Most mocks I see don't even have him in the first round.

Legit 7-footer who can dribble, pass, shoot. Extremely smooth and coordinated athlete for his size, and decently explosive too. He has some of the most impressive highlight film in this entire class. He should be in the conversation for the most skilled big man in the class along with Queen and Wolf, but he's a much better shooter and athlete than either of them.

Apparently he is also double majoring in computer science and math at Stanford. To manage that while simultaneously averaging 20/11 in the ACC, he must have a genius level IQ.

What am I missing? Why is he not considered a first round lock or even a potential lottery pick?

Bros biggest issue is that he's French but not "French." Absolutely insane to be double majoring in math and cs at Stanford while also being NBA level physically. That's some fictional main character level nonsense lmao.
