New player of the France team for a few months, Sylvain Francisco discovered the high level with the 2023 World Cup. The playmaker shone in Greece last season, with Peristeri, to the point of winning a place among the selection national.
” I did not expect that “, did he deliver to Eurohoops. “I did not think of playing with France. I especially wanted to go to the NBA. Playing in the national team was one of my goals, but it happened so quickly. »
At the bend of this sentence, the new Bayern Munich player slipped his American ambitions. The 25-year-old will discover the Euroleague next season, but he also dreams of the NBA.
“The NBA is always in the back of my mind. We just want to go there, even if it’s to stay for one, two or three years. Even if you don’t stay long, you can come back to Europe afterwards, being the main player in your team.” he explains, no doubt taking his example from Elie Okobo, who became a major Euroleague player after his time with the Suns.
But is he ready to accept any role and anywhere in the NBA? ” After that, it depends on your situation and what you want. Everyone wants to go to the NBA. If you don’t feel good there, that the role isn’t good, then you come back. Me ? I’m open, and of course it’s always a dream to play in the NBA. »
