The Detroit Pistons selected Sekou Doumbouya with their 15th overall pick in last weeks NBA Draft. The 6’9″ Guniean born professional French player is only 18 years old and has drawn comparisons to Pascal Siakam.
Doumbouya was projected by most mock drafts to be drafted far before the Pistons pick at 15, but the 18-year-old slid to the Pistons and it was an easy decision.
Doumbouya had been playing professional basketball overseas since he was the age of 15. This past season, he played for Limoges CPS where he averaged 7.8 points, and 3.3 rebounds on 48 percent from the field and 34 percent from deep.
