At 22, the successor to Guerschon Yabusele and Rudy Gobert in the role of captain of Les Bleus appeared relaxed and thoughtful on Wednesday (26 August) at the pre-match press conference. The most important thing, in his view, is not to let himself be transformed by this new responsibility. "I'm confident in who I am, in what I can bring to a team – on the court, obviously, and in terms of philosophy," he answered to a question from Olympics.com. "For me, it's a project that isn't counted in years but in decades with the France team. It's something that will happen over time, and it's important not to skip steps and, every day, to be as close as possible to the person you're meant to be. So every time I'm with this France team, I'll try to be as close as I can to the captain I'm going to be."
