Stanford University s French rookie trained with Wenban Yama. Will the Spurs choose him?

According to US media USAToday reporter Cody Taylor, Stanford senior French domestic lineman Maxime Raynaud had previously trained in the gym with Victor Wembanyama, a San Antonio Spurs inside star, and prepared for this year's NBA draft. Renault and Vinban Yama are long-time friends. They participated in the 2019 FIBA ​​U16 European Championships together in 2019.

Renault was born in April 2003 and is a very comprehensive inside player. According to data from the previous joint trial physical test, his height is 214cm, his wingspan is 216.5cm, his standing height is 279.4cm, and his weight is 113.1kg. In the NCAA field this season, Renault made a total of 35 appearances for Stanford, averaging 33.5 minutes per game, averaging 20.2 points, 10.6 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.4 blocks, and 2.4 turnovers and 2 fouls. His shooting percentage was 46.7%, three-point shooting percentage was 34.7%, and free throw shooting percentage was 77%. It is worth mentioning that Renault is also the only player among all players in the NCAA field to achieve 20+10 data, which can also show how outstanding his dominance is. With his outstanding performance, Renault was also shortlisted for the ACC League's best team, and he is also one of the best inside players in the entire NCAA field.

From the perspective of characteristics, Renault is a skilled inside player. He has very good inside scoring ability and low-post offensive skills. He also has certain outside shooting ability. He can also provide certain support for the team in passing and supporting. He is also good at creating threats to himself or teammates through pick-and-roll. In addition, Renault also has a good rebounding protection ability on the defensive end, and he also has certain franchise protection ability. However, Renault's athletic ability is relatively average and his movement speed is relatively limited, which has also affected his performance on the defensive end to a certain extent. The dynamic data displayed by Renault in the previous joint trial training and physical testing session was also very bad, and he does have obvious shortcomings.

Judging from the current draft market, Renault has the chance to be selected from the last to the second round of the first round, and his draft market looks good. Judging from the Spurs' situation, they hold multiple draft picks, including the 14th pick in the first round and the 38th pick in the second round. They can trade this 14th pick in the first round, or see if they have a chance to pick up a bargain in this position and win Renault. Renault and Vanban Yama are both tall inside players. Renault is relatively a standing player and can also complement Vanban Yama in terms of characteristics. Will the Spurs consider partnering with this French domestic line combination?
