Maxime Kings’ Raynaud eager to play with Domantas Sabonis – NBC Sports Bay Area and California

Sacramento-Durante A press conference on Thursday morning by introducing the two choices of the team from the NBA Draft of 2025, the first year of the Kings general of the Kings of the first year Scott Perry referred to the second round Maxime Raynaud as a “double double machine”.

It is a label that has been conferred on Domantas Sabonis for several years. Kings’ great 6 feet-10-10 feet puts as double as most people drink water-liscio and pleasantly easy. He had 61 games of this type during the 2024 season, one year after filling in a series of 61 dual consecutive doubles, the seventiest seventh series in the history of the NBA.

Raynaud’s NBA career has yet to take off, but Perry sees the 7 -foot French with the ability to have an immediate impact in sacrament.

“Max has a truly unique combination of dimensions, skills and skills that really reflects many great players in today’s game,” said Perry. “It’s a double double machine. We think it has a lot of growth and development in front of him.”

If Raynaud, the overall choice n. 42 In the draft, it can be a tenth that the player Sabonis has been in the NBA, then he will be seen as an excellent choice by Perry.

Playing college about 90 minutes south of Sacramento in Stanford, Raynaud has blossomed in a fantastic perspective in the paint that can also shoot the rock very well from the perimeter.

He was chosen for the member of the first team of the Atlantic Coast Conference during his last season in Stanford after scoring on average 20.2 points, 10.6 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.4 blocks.

Raynaud was the only college player last season A on average at least 20 points and 10 rebounds per game, the first player of the Power 4 conference to hit those votes while nailed at least 50 3 episodes since Kevin Durant has done almost two decades ago.

“Max’s talents speak for themselves/”, said the Kings coach Doug Christie when he was asked about the prospect of playing Raynaud and Sabonis together. “The rebound is never something that you don’t need enough. Its dimensions (e) his set of skill, I think that with Domas he can mix in style. Only by looking at him play, he can shoot, make a pump, put the ball on the deck. So now you have games producers in all positions.”

Raynaud will have its first taste of NBA action at the Las Vegas Summer League. Then a break would take and rest a little rest before starting the training field when he has the opportunity to take sides next to Sabonis.
Sabonis is clearly waiting with impatience.

The night of the draft, went to X and had this to say to the two king’s choices of the king: “Welcome to the King Sacramento, Rooks. We work.”
