Thierry Darlan, who spent most of the season with G League Ignite, has declared as an Early Entry Candidate for the 2024 NBA Draft. The 20-year-old wing is currently playing for Bangui Sporting Club out of the Central African Republic in Basketball Africa League qualifiers.

With the Ignite, Darlan averaged 5.4 points and 3.7 rebounds in 19.1 minutes per game off the bench. The 6-foot-8 wing has shown better in BAL qualifiers. Darlan has averaged 19.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.3 blocks for Bangui Sporting Club.

Most draft experts have Darlan as being picked late in the second round or going undrafted.

Izan Almansa Declares For 2024 NBA Draft

Apr 24, 2024 8:43 AM

G League Ignite forward Izan Almansa has declared as an Early Entry Candidate for the 2024 NBA Draft. Almansa is from Spain and has played for Overtime Elite, in addition to the Ignite.

The 6-foot-10 forward averaged 10.5 points and 7.1 rebounds for the Ignite this season. Almansa shot 55% from the field in his lone G League season.

The 18-year-old big man is considered an early second-round pick by most draft experts. At one point, Almansa was considered as a lottery pick. However, a poor season on an underwhelming Ignite team saw the Spanish forward's draft stock drop.
