Why was Mo Bamba drafted?

[Conscious Pilot]

Him and dude were childhood friends or some shyt like that

They both from Harlem and new each other played ball together.

Damn didn’t know the Artist was from Harlem . Coulda swore he was from Atlanta or some shyt

 

[NoMorePie]

Drafted him #5 just to pay vucecic

Waste of a pick

 

[Stick Up Kid]

wait Mo Bamba is an actual person?

 

[CrimsonTider]

He’s not that bad to the point you have to question him being drafted

He’s still young and raw and plays on a team with a crowded front court and questionable player development.

he Is that bad.

Orlando is then, now and always, CLUSTERfukk CITY.

He's a talented player being failed by his situation.

what’s his talent? Blocking shots?

Hindsight thread

How is this a hindsight thread when I said he’s never been good a basketball. He wasn’t good in college

He’s got a lot of upside, just in a loaded front court. Not a franchise changer but he should be in the league a long time.

what’s his upside?

 

[L&HH]

Ya'll remember when his brother tried snitching on him?

 

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

A poor man's Nerlens Noel.

 

[Lord Beasley]

African bigs almost always bust

 

[CantStop]

this ain't no hindsight thread

I been knew he was a bum when his own brother called him out for ignoring his own family because a white man was controlling him and was giving him gifts

I guess thats the harlem way

 

[Loose]

Way to early for this thread

 

[Rekkapryde]

Still got Hawks brehs trying to trade pieces to get him

Glad we passed on this bum

That's a talent.

With his size you can mold him into a successful big, but that requires player development. Same with most of their players. The Magic draft 2 straw weights in Bamba and Isaac yet don't do what they need do to get them physically up to speed. Jonathan Isaac at church instead of Church's. That's a problem.

He doesn’t even get any minutes he’ll probably get traded , magic just took him as best player available they really wanted doncic or young plus backup plan if vucci walked as free agent

He wasn’t the best player available

On their board it was everyone had bamba in the top 7

 

[VegetasHairline]

I would have drafted Wendell Carter Jr instead of Mo Bamba.
