Shams Charania: Sources: 76ers picking Theo Maledon at No. 34 in the NBA Draft.
According to a Bucks official, if the team had kept its first-round pick (No. 24 overall) instead of sending it to New Orleans in the Holiday trade, they would have given serious consideration to combo guard Cassius Stanley of Duke and point guard Theo Maledon of France. The Bucks attended workouts for both of them.

Eric Walden: French point guard Theo Maledon says he interviewed with the Jazz’s front office via Zoom, and then spoke afterward with the team’s sports psychologist. Said he feels like playing alongside a fellow Frenchman like Rudy Gobert would help his transition to the NBA.
