  • crazy how big he is, and he seems to move surprisingly well for someone so tall

  • He's big, but very-raw. His height is worth taking him on as a project. I would like to see him against some teams with at least average talent/size. The video doesn't do him much justice, from a basketball standpoint, because he is playing agains below average talent/sized teams. That wasn't DeMatha HS (Hyattsville, MD) or Christ the King, or even LeFlore HS from down here in Mobile. I would take a kid that big in a second, though. The only drawback is, with minimal skill development, he'd be one-and-done and be a lottery pick.....thanks for info. WAR EAGLE!

    Am I crazy or did we already have a 7+ foot Mamadou Ndiaye on our team back when we were really good? Does he have a son or a clone that is 15 years younger than him?

    It al depends upon what you mean by raw. Undoubtedly, the opposition was weak. However, he has a nice touch, moves wellup and down the court for 7"5", has good foot movement and pivoting in low post for a man that size and is already carrying good weight as he took a lot of bumps without any effect. I would like to see him play against teams with a tall center as well but would take him in a heart beat. Saw Maunte Bol in college and NM is better than Bol as a junior in HS.
