It’s probably just being contrarian for the sake of doing so like many of us do.

How did Sarr look? I'm curious to see how he does in a pro setting after playing in OTE.
Risacher is raw. I think he's a long-term project. Hopefully he improves as the year goes on, but he does fit the mold of a French disappointment where he is long and toolsy, but just not a lot of assertive offensive ability.
The Ajinca video you posted looked OK. Not seeing a lot of tools and the shot did not look smooth to me (?)(sometimes the lefty shot can just look off to the eye so maybe thats it).
I've heard Cody Williams has really disappointed this summer as well.
He moves really well, anticipatory defense ... his length shows up both in the passing lanes and in rim protection. Offensively, I know he's supposed to have some on-ball intrigue, but didn't show much of it in this game. I want to see him against better competition.
He looked much better in the second half. Similar to Sarr - great defensive length and anticipation. stole like 5 balls in 15 minutes of play. He is a smooth MF-er. You can see why people like his potential... shot looks good, seems to have some on-ball talent... but still... I expect much better from a potential top 10 talent agains this type of competition. Dante for example was killing these types of teams. Risacher kind of ...floats a lot. I will try to watch their game vs Spain. Spain BTW looks murderous in this tournament. They are winning some games by like 100-20... and this is in the elimination stage...
Ajinca looks like potential 3 and D type of prospect, with the D a bit questionable because of lack of elite athleticism. But he looks like he knows how to play the game. He has some off-the-dribble ability, but IMO his handle would have to be developed in order to be applicable in NBA setting. He has good motor. IMO he can be a late 1st-2nd if he has a good season this year, especially in a weak draft.
Haven't seen him.
For some reason I thought France was going to play Spain in the semis but they are actually playing vs Team USA today. You can watch here in 5 hours:

USA vs France FIBA WC U19 semi final ... starting now...
refs are very trigger happy when calling fouls on team France. Both Sarr and Risacher with early 2 fouls and are out of the game. Team USA seems VERY mediocre and beatable.
