Noa Kouakou-Heugue

The French Next Star will be hoping to follow the path of Alex Sarr and Izan Almansa in having successful stints at the Perth Wildcats as they start chasing their basketball dreams.

The 18-year-old from France is one of the more exciting naturally gifted talents in the world and has chosen to be part of the Next Stars program as the next stop in his journey.

The hugely athletically talented 6'10 young man is fresh off representing France at the FIBA Under-19 World Cup in China where he showed flashes of his potential with 7.0 points and 5.0 rebounds.

With his explosiveness and length, will look to keep developing with the Wildcats this season as part of the Next Stars program.
