French talent Alex Sarr has made NBL history after earning the No.2 pick in the NBA draft, but Australian prospect Johnny Furphy was left waiting for his name to be called in New York.
Sarr went second to the Washington Wizards after playing last year with the Perth Wildcats.
His countryman Zaccharie Risacher earned the top pick, and a move to the Atlanta Hawks, to follow in the footsteps of French phenom Victor Wembanyama who was first selected last year.
