He looks like a center but we will see in the combine if his measurements come close to a guy like Sabonis, Horford, or Bam.


Bud you have centers on the brain like no other. Unfortunately this draft isn't for them except for the 2nd rounders.

I'm also a big fan of CC. He reminds me of KAT

I have no idea what to think regarding this prospect.

But he is a physical specimen.

Tounde Yessoufou (Baylor, SG/SF)




Tounde Yessoufou will replace VJ Edgecombe at Baylor and similarly look to show improving offensive skills that complement his powerful tools and explosion.

Previously valued mostly for his physical frame, athleticism and motor—a combination he used for transition, defense and rebounding—he has delivered more and more signs that he's morphing into an interchangeable wing from a combo forward.

Potential weaknesses or concerns to monitor that could slow down interest: Inconsistent shooting and lack of playmaking.

Pelicans watch...

KAWHI FOR THE WIN!!!

0-5

Pelicans played well and shot well. Great game, but Clippers got lucky with this one.

Pels got dismantled by OKC today, Hawks are going to enjoy this pick. NOLA made a huge mistake.
Cheers

So, it's clear that we'll be swapping picks with SAS next summer.

I really would like a shot at Yaxel outside of the lottery.

I totally agree. I love Yax's game. He could be a poor man's Bam. As of now, he is the best passing center in college.

Should also keep an eye on Baye Ndongo. Good hops and has surprisingly good balance and touch around the basket.

Interesting...I was thinking he could be a better passing Jalen Johnson as the backup PF.

There measurables are pretty astounding.
