2025 Draft Profile - Noa Essengue

NBA Draft Room - March 22nd: "He’s a very fluid athlete at 6-10 who is quick and graceful in the open court and moves like a guard. He’s at this best going to the basket and using his athleticism to make plays and is starting to expand his offensive arsenal."

Jonathan Giovany - ESPN - March 13th: "He scores in transition, crashing the glass, cutting off the ball and drawing fouls in bunches because of his outstanding quickness, although he struggles shooting from beyond the arc (25% on 3s). With his team poised for a playoff run (currently tied for first place in Germany), scouts will soon turn their attention to Ulm once the college basketball season ends."

Kyle Boone - CBS Sports - March 12th: "Essengue has continued to impress overseas playing alongside the aforementioned Saraf in Germany. He's a big wing who is very young and already producing at a very high level professionally."

Jonathan Wasserman - Bleacher Report - March 11th: "The narrative around Noa Essengue has been the same all year, with the 18-year-old consistently finding ways to earn easy baskets and trips to the line by running the floor, crashing the glass, attacking closeouts, timing cuts and making a three-pointer every other game."

USA Today - March 11th: "The next forward with elite finishing ability to come out of France, Essengue figures to be more of a developmental prospect, but his size, instincts at the rim and plus-defensive ability could make him a star if he bulks up."
