Long, versatile Oakland guard with NBA-length upside
William Kassi is a 6-foot-9 guard from Pontoise, France who brings rare size, developmental upside, and a clearly long-term fit for Oakland’s system[1][3]. Oakland’s roster lists him on the 2026-27 team after he enrolled during the winter semester, which suggests the staff sees him as a project with room to grow rather than an immediate usage-heavy scorer[1]. His biggest differentiator is positional flexibility: a big guard frame with international background and a reputation for being developed, not just recruited. For teams, that means intriguing upside if patience and skill development are part of the plan[1][4].
