Ulm on the upswing: Essengue and Saraf fight for NBA dreams in the final!

In an exciting basketball scenario, Ratiopharm Ulm is about to BBL final against FC Bayern. But the anticipation of the big game could be clouded several times, because the final games collide with the upcoming NBA draft, which takes place on June 25th and 26th. Especially the two Ulm talents, Noa Essengue and Ben Saraf, could be under pressure during this time. Both boys have registered for the draft and this not only attracts sporty, but also organizational consequences. An application for an appointment change for the final games, which was submitted by Ulm at the BBL, could be the solution to the problem, while an answer from the league is still pending [Sportschau] (https://www.sportschau.de/basketball/ulmer-jungstars-essengue--unds--unds-fuer-terminnoete, ulm-finale-saraf-essengue-100.html) reported.

But what makes the two players so special? Noa Essengue is considered a potential top 10 pick and has played into the spotlight with outstanding performance in the Eurocup season, in which he achieved an average of 12.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game. Its up -to -date standing includes impressive dimensions: 6 feet 10 inches (approx. 208 cm) without shoes and a span of incredible 7 feet 3 inches (approx. 221 cm), like Si emphasizes. He is currently traded in the draft in 11th place by the Portland Trail Blazers.

Olympic challenges and numerous talents

The draft is in severe competition with the BBL final games, which are scheduled for June 24th and 26th. Ulm has expressed the wish to prefer the fourth game and to be allowed to move the fifth backwards. But such a change needs the consent of Bavaria - and that is anything but safe. Ulm, however, emphasizes the need for a fair competition, while the two players have to concentrate on their basketball future.

Ben Saraf, another hot -sought -after player, is also considered in the forecasts. The 19-year-old Guard man measures 5 inches (196 cm) and weigh £ 202 (92 kg). Saraf is considered a creative playmaker with an enormous game intelligence, even if his shot about it still has to develop. This season he also has its share in the fact that Ulm is in the final, with an average of 16 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists in the last games. Overall, his potential with good development in the NBA could be one of the key points to build a stable career, according to the assessments of Yahoo.

basketball and the future

The exciting question remains: How will Ulm master this challenge? Essengue and Saraf are well on the way to climbing the highest leagues of basketball. But whether they can use the moment of the highlights in the BBL or concentrate directly on the NBA depends on many factors. In any case, a lot will be at stake, because both the development of Essengue and the promising approaches of Saraf could prove to be decisive for the coming years in international basketball.

The basketball world looks forward to developments and the upcoming decisions-both on the square in Ulm and in the draft process. An exciting chapter for German basketball and a potential for history for the two young stars.
