Dick desperately needs some size.


Kid is 19 years old. Will take time to get into NBA shape (or drink whatever Lebron drank).

None of that is Xtra bs. Those are all fundamental routine big man plays and positions that he'll be in. Even if he doesn't end up using that, he's still improving his footwork and coordination there

If Rico wants those views, he better upload this video quick - Raptor content tends to generate high traffic.

How does OG's London accent suddenly appear?

We have the better Gueye. They have the more hyped one, but ours is going to be better.

Based on what? Our Gueye looks like scrub Boucher at the moment. Now the other Gueye looks like your typical rim running big, but I imagine it'll translate.

From what I have watched Mouhamedou Gueye in college and GLeague is he that he can defend both in help and out on the perimeter. He has a decent handle and is a humble 6'10 energy big with some outside shooting and good athleticism.

Gueye at Pitt averaged 9.8 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.1 blocks with 36% from three in college. He further proved his value averaging 9 and 5 and 1.7 blocks in the GLeague last year. He is a versatile 4/5 and we have Boucher as an archetype and he has been valuable to Toronto. Gueye even works with Boucher's trainer and has been out there playing with Siakam at Rico Hines Runs. Summer League showed good stuff:



Aside from all that, the sense of his personality is he is a worker and knows how to play team basketball. He gets what it takes to be on an NBA court.



Mouhamed Gueye at Washington averaged 14 points, 8 rebounds and 0.8 blocks with 27% from three. This guy was featured on a pretty bad team and had flashes of success. I have followed him over the two years and seen the hype, but something about bigs who don't show enough IQ and effort on defense. They forced him to play C in Washington and he stunk. Maybe he ends up at best a Christian Wood type big. You watch him play he is a raw talented player that may or may not hit. He is younger, so he has a chance to become a rotation player but loads of offensive PFs just don't stick in the NBA.
