The list of measurements of Mohamed Bamba from the recent NBA combine read more like the description of a pterodactyl rather than a human being. 7’10” wingspan. 7’1 height, 225 lbs. 9’7″ standing reach.
He’s easily one of the most physically gifted athletes to ever pass through the NBA Draft, but even with his freakish tools, questions still plague his stock.
Can he adjust to the physicality of the NBA with such a skinny frame? Can he hang on the perimeter well enough defensively to survive the modernity of the league? Will he develop offensively enough to be at least an average player on that end?
