I would give him the start. Maybe he figured it out by being out of the league for a few months. He would get the chance to jump start his career.
All he needs to do is play harder, hit open shots, and rotate on defense. He doesn't need to block any shots just intimidate drives.

Let Mamu start and play him with Scottie on bench minutes.

Mamu is already a nickname, but what about Dormamu?
I'm thinking 6/6/2blks

10% chance he's an amazing fit.
30-40% chance he's a okay backup.

Re: [Shams] Raptors signing Mo Bamba
The good news here I think is that the difference between Bamba and Richard's is pretty small.
Maybe we don't sell Ochai and a 2nd then.

per team, he's out at least a week doing therapy and they will give another update then.

Pretty much. The most likely scenario is he is just an okay backup that can give us a 5-minute stint each half where we tread water and/or don't bleed points, but there is a slim chance he makes a big impact. It's been a few years since he played meaningful minutes in the NBA, but he has generally filled up the stat sheet despite not having a great motor. Maybe he's hungry for another opportunity and it probably helps that there is a big opening up front on our team right now.

needs to learn the schemes first..and that might be tough considering he supposedly doesn't have the brightest b-ball mind
sounds like a taller, longer Achiuwa, but the bad IQ carries over on the defensive end

Re: [Shams] Raptors signing Mo Bamba
It's a shame we didn't give up significant assets to get him 4 or 5 years ago like some GM's here wanted. Would have really paid off.

Re: [Shams] Raptors signing Mo Bamba
Got the full Bamba experience in like 2 minutes. Bad hands, horrendous screen setting, bad fundamentals, monstrous lane intimidator.
