There is little debate that Sekou Doumbouya is the top international prospect should he decide to enter the 2019 NBA Draft. He should have no problem piquing the interest of a number of teams selecting in the lottery.
Position: SF | From: France | Class/YOB: 2000 |
Height: 6’9 | Weight: 230 | Wingspan: 6’11 |
Strengths:
- Big wing with promising physical traits. Very agile and coordinated at his size. Pretty solid build for a teenager
- Good arc on his shot, even though it’s inconsistent. Looks really good when it goes in. Has to focus in on a repeatable release point
- Best potential skill is his defensive flexibility. Shoots the gap well. Anticipates on the weak side for blocked shots. Will need to hone aggressiveness
- Attacks with force. A guy that can rip through and get to the rim in one dribble. Very long strides and sound body control
- Willing passer that has brought the ball up some. Height allows for passing angles that smaller wings are unable to find
Weaknesses:
- Can do more than is required with the ball. Dances a little more than he needs to in order to get to the basket
- Not a scorer off the dribble. More of a project offensively. Needs to develop his middle game
- Jump shot could be good, but it has not translated into results so far
- Energy can get the best of him on defense. Doesn’t always pick the right times to be aggressive. Has a tendency to leave shooters or the offensive glass open by overhelping
