http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/player/gamelog/_/id/67147/mamadou-ndiaye The "what center do you want" thread caused me to do a youtube search for some players, and the one above was one of the ones I found. Not to be confused with Mamadou N'Diaye, a former NBA player, this is a college kid at UC Irvine. Not saying he's a stud or a 1st round talent. He's 7'6" and I was wondering if he was a potential late 2nd rounder or FA (if he comes out this year). Maybe he's a stiff, I don't know. Thus why Im asking.
I love the concept of a 7'6" dominate center. One center to rule them all......this man though I don't think is him With that size alone, if there was solid talent or athletic ability he should be a double-double machine. I have NO idea how the Anteaters used him, didn't watch a single game from them...but I got to imagine if he was a prospect he'd have put up something better. Besides, he'd KILL the Blazers FT%
do we have any picks this yr? I thought we traded all our 2nd rdrs for the next few yrs at least and Char of course gets our 1st
No we do not. But we do have a couple trade chips and a boatload of cash (PA) at our disposal. Should be enough to get a pick if we really want to.
I saw the 7'5" center for New Mexico State play live in Spokane in the NCAA tournament. He impacted play, and San Diego State had trouble with him. Worth a 2nd round pick for some team.
He moves extremely well for someone that size. His mobility and speed are at least on par with Hibbert IMO. But so did Ha Seung-Jin. Does he have any level of understanding/feel for the game?
The Cal-Irvine guy is fairly crappy. Sim Bhullar from NMSU actually looked to be somewhat coordinated, although he has a 1' vertical, max. He'll be 23 next summer for the draft, though, which is a negative.
You mean like a Shawn Bradley? I saw John Stockton floor him once, then again Stockton outweighed him by a couple of pounds.
No, like a gigantic human being. I was sitting 10 rows off the court, and that was the largest human being I've ever seen in my life. Not just tallest, but also largest. EDIT - different player than the post that you were addressing.
