Nathan Soliman: stats, last game & news

Nathan Soliman, son of William Soliman, was born in Nantes on May 15, 2009, and is one of the greatest hopes of French basketball from the 2009 generation. A tall forward (2.04 m), he stands out for his offensive versatility, his ability to create with the ball in hand, and his skill at drawing fouls through his aggressive drives to the basket.

Having come through Nantes Rezé 44 and the Pays de la Loire Training Center, he joined the France National Training Center at INSEP two years early, playing in Nationale 1 at just 14 years old against experienced players. In NM1 during the 2025-2026 season, he averaged 15.5 points on 46.2% shooting (31.0% from 3-point range), 6.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists, and 2.0 steals in 30 minutes over 24 games, confirming his status as a major prospect.

An international youth player, he also shines with the French U16 team, notably during the 2025 U16 EuroBasket where he averaged 20 points and 10 rebounds. His impact on both ends of the floor, his early maturity, and his understanding of the game make him a rare profile for his age.

At 16, he chose to launch his professional career in ELITE 2 with Nantes Basket Hermine, the club where he started. A strategic return to his roots to gain experience in a demanding championship before aiming, ultimately, for the highest European and international level.
