Axel Toupane

A late addition to this year's camp, French swingman Axel Toupane had a nice showing today. A 1992-born prospect automatically eligible for the 2014 NBA Draft, Toupane is a well-built wing with good length and athleticism who competes defensively, can make a jump shot, and has a nice feel for the game overall. Having seen rotation minutes in Strasbourg for a few years now, Toupane is not a freak athlete or a high level scorer, as he's averaging a career best 6.2 points playing 19.2 minutes per-game in the French League this season, but has quietly developed into a solid roleplayer under the well-respected French coach Vincent Collet. He did a little bit of everything today, scoring 5 points in the second game and managing to look like a seasoned veteran in the sloppy opening game.
