Five Prospects The Sacramento Kings Should Watch In March Madness
By Rafe Wong
Mohamed Bamba
Another big man that I feel could help the Kings going forth. For Mohamed Bamba, he has shown to be a beast this season for the Texas Longhorns by being an asset on both ends of the floor. The numbers back up his production as he is averaging 12.9 points, 10.4 rebounds, and a whopping 3.7 blocks per game.
For Bamba, what intrigues me the most about him is his defensive ability. I cannot stress enough how much I think the Kings need a legit rim-protector going forward, and I think Bamba has the potential to be that guy as he showcased the efficiency and motivation to do so this season.
Although Bamba may be limited offensively, the potential is there. He has good size and athleticism for which he can be great when running the pick-and-roll offense and has also developed a decent jump shot that could later be a reliable part of his offensive arsenal in the future.
