Looks like a beast.

I'm lol though because some of those players he was playing against were like 5-9, lol.

Reminds me of this:

If he's only a junior then he has a few years to get fundamentals down. He should have already learned not to bring the ball down low every time he's in the paint. Coaches should have taught him to never bring it below his shoulders at this point already.

There was a center with the exact same name on the Auburn Tigers when Cliff Ellis was coaching them and the hilariously overrated Chris Porter with his Fro was the biggest name in college.

Absolutely. However Yao really was abnormal for a person with gigantism. You can google video of Yao as a youngster and see how agile he was. Much more so than guys like this. Even Muresan was quicker in the NBA than Ndiaye in these vids and gigantism has a habit of breaking people that have it faster so he likely will continue to decline.

High school junior? Judging by his face he's had to repeat at least 11 times.

He looks like a 40 year old.

The dude is crazy long though. He had an 8'1" wingspan.

I swear to God, there are like 8 guys with the name Mamadou N'Diaye every year. I remember when the Raptors had Mamadou on their roster for a few years. Obviously not this one, but man, this must be the equivalent of John Smith or something, because every 2 or 3 years, there's a new Mamadou N'Diaye prospect out there. He's always a tall kid from Africa with raw skills "but loads of potential."

Hopefully this one has at least a Muresan- or Bol-level career, that'd be cool. Love seeing the tall guys succeed.
