Definitely has looked lost at times but in limited minutes after a rocky start, put together some decent games. Just needs to come back and get stronger and he'll be fine. Showed good touch, can block any shot, needs to get stronger for more rebounds though.. ya'll quick to call any player a bust lol. Definitely isn't coming out of the gates as strong as JJJ and some others though..
Not just his strength but he's very slow
My nickname for him when he was in Texas was Slow Bamba. I don't get what's so intriguing about him besides the length. He's not very skilled and he lacks mobility. Personally I'd much rather have Mitchell Robinson.
Bamba can become a decent player but I just dont see anything special there, he's basically like the Center version of Jonathan Isaac. Your guys draft the last couple years was very meh .
He's not slow at all, he had one of the fastest times in the sprint workouts:

But he can already stretch the floor and put the ball on the floor as well. It's basically just a lot of basic stuff he needs to get down + get stronger, but it's almost impossible for you to gather any information half a season in. I haven't seen much of Mitch so I can't speak of him.
And Isaac I am very high on. Not as an all star, but as an uber role player that everybody needs. He will be all team defense one day, and I think like a less passing version of AK47 type of impact. He's starting to get a lot of 10/8/3/2/2 sort of games on the daily lately since he's being involved more. Keep in mind both of these dudes play with DJ Augustin and Jerian Grant as their point guards, neither who could pass if their life depended on it.
