The Unparalleled Potential of Mo Bamba - Player Breakdown / Scouting Reel

Mohamed "Mo" Bamba is a thoughtful, surprisingly skilled and shockingly lanky 7’0” center from Harlem, New York. He spent his lone college year at Texas under Shaka Smart.
Honestly, "lanky" doesn’t really even cover it. You'd have to reach into the world of fiction to find length that’s comparable to the wingspan and reach that Bamba enjoys. He's an anomaly. He's filled with overwhelming potential. He's also one of the more volatile floor to ceiling propositions in the 2018 NBA Draft.

Never seen any of your videos before but I have to say, I'm impressed. Really nice voice, you have structure in the monologue, no clicbait bs, no unnecessary epilogues or stretching the ending, good in-sight, clearly stating opinions vs facts etc. Mucho bueno my man.

Agree with the voice. ☕

[@austinedwards9184]

Actually Bamba was averaging 4.5 blocks then he hurt his toe in the middle of the year and played about half as much as he was so if it wasn’t for that we’d be saying he was averaging almost 5 blocks a game 👀

[@eastur4153]

HOW HAVEN'T YOU BLOWN UP YET THE WAY YOU STRUCTURE YOUR VIDEOS IS PHENOMENAL AND NOT TO MENTION THE INNOVATIVE "COMP CLOUD"

[@xredgreenbluex]

Imagine him on the Mavs. They would have the player with the highest vertical in the league (Dennis Smith Jr.: 48in) And the player with the longest wingspan in the league. Lowkey very dangerous.

[@PioPamintuan]

We Have the 5th pick. Hope the mavs get this guy. Imagine him getting dirk's fadeaway jumper. that would be an unstoppable shot. fadeaway with that reach

[@damienswan11]

He's in the Mavs backyard. If he's there at 5 he's going to the Mavs. I think he pairs nicely with DSJ and he will immediately start and make there Defense way better. Nerlens Noel will be then be traded like he was going to be anyway. Makes perfect since to me.

[@ChrisxStyleZ]

Pio Pamintuan it would be sick if they drew up a play where dirk does his fade away but really its an ally oop to Mo Bamba. *UNSTOPPABLE*

[@thel1195]

Yep. I want to see him here. If his mind is right, which it appears that it is, he can learn to be everything Dirk is, plus be a solid defender. It will take him about 2 seasons though.

[@andrewsmith3014]

crispy Dennis Smith doesn't have a 48 in vert

Subscribed. Surprised to see such an all-around quality video (Sade instrumental in the background did not go unnoticed, atta boy) with only 1.4k subs on the channel. I'm guessing you're fairly new to KZbin and word just hasn't got around yet, but I suspect you're going to take off in size if you keep it up.

[@MegaDayBear]

Very well put together video! Really enjoyed and liked that you focused on what he exceeds at and also needs to improve on and even went more in depth to tell and show that he has the ability to be the best at those things he didn’t show in college. I agree as well and think he will be a top 3 pick and a very good nba player so long as he gets better in the post. Really really enjoyed!!👌🏻

[@yuriygmr.g39]

Great videos. Some of the best scouting I've seen in KZbin. Your popularity will stay rise as long as you continue to scout more top prospects with the same great quality.

[@theodorelee7040]

Andre Drummond, DeAndre Jordan, and Hassan Whiteside all come to mind as guys with “motor issues” coming out of college. When these guys start competing for paychecks that can change.

[@sanercakir7119]

There are only 4 thins in KZbin: 1. Clickbait (Ali-A) 2. Dumb vlogs (Pauls) 3. Elsagate 4. This guy 4th is clearly the best.

Nice video man I especially love the intro. I find a lot of basketball youtube videos have annoying uninteresting and long intros to pump the vid length stat but yours was a good catch for the rest of the video 10/10 on that aspect of your grade I pass you in geometry

[@donchills11]

I like your stuff man. Your intake about about bamba really opened my eyes to him. He still is a major risk since he does have some major grey areas to fill with his game, but I could see him sliding to pick 5, I don’t know about 3.. but I guess we will have to wait and see what team wants to take a chance on him.

[@eliasbonni1362]

[@damienswan11]

Unicorn potential. Honestly think he has the highest potential in the draft. I got Dallas grabbing him at 5th. He's in their back yard and they need a Center. His potential is just to high to fall out of the top five. At worst he's an elite shot blocker, if nothing else. And at best he's Rudy Gobert with a 3 ball. That's scary.

[@yhwhfearingguy646]

nah once he gets a strong body to put on these centers he gonna be a beast. i would trade ben simmons and a pick to get him tbh

[@Nate_S]

Random Guy ....trade ben Simmons for a guy who's not as good as embiid..were you high

[@yhwhfearingguy646]

Nate S. 1 point Simmons can't shoot Simmons

[@tbrem15]

Bamba shot 28% from 3 at Texas, so he;s not exactly an assassin from beyond the arc

[@Nate_S]

Random Guy what do that even mean

[@V99899]

[@Qdawwg]

This dude's going to Chicago and I can't wait (as long as we dont fuck up and get Trae). Markennan the perfect stretch 4, and a beastly athletic defensive center. Nasty frontcourt, it's like if Mutumbo and Dirk played together

[@ThaPremiere1]

First ever watch. Excellent analysis. Dont comment much either, but this is well deserved. Excited to subscribe man

[@KidTonyGaming]

Your end statement was everything I was thinking. He is well worth the risk, because at the end of the day, you are basically getting a 9ft 3 center, who's not a straight dud. Get him in the weight room, get him with a good trainer, he'll blossom at something if he really wants it.

[@shammaboy]

just subscribed, great video. I really hope the Celtics move up to get this beast. Imagine him with tatum, brown, rozier, smart, and Ojeleye. That would be a crazy group of young talent that could grow together for years to come. That's not even mentioning irving, hayward, horford, baynes, morris. Celtics are gonna be competing with the 76ers for years, this guy going againt embiid consistently would make the rivalry even better. fingers crossed.

[@mert.a4240]

[@JustinDumo]

You should do a mock draft. Would love to see your take on it!

[@N41J4]

Very thorough analysis.

[@Omar-zd5dq]

Bamba's mentality, intelligence, and composure makes him seem like a guy that CAN'T bust. He won't have Michael Beasley syndrome.

[@damienswan11]

Omar Khan Exactly. Defense is too good to be a bust and IQ is there at 19 years old. He still has years to develop and is arguably already elite at shot blocking. Dude is gonna be another NBA Unicorn imo.

[@pob-4810]

Omar Khan just needs more body development and HOPEFULLY doesn’t get injured early on

[@soaky4]

Bamba is an analyst, not a player. Smart and weak = he'll be wearing suits and speaking into mics during games.

[@Simon-lg9kp]

Michael beasley is very underrated. Great player

[@MrAvatarzan]

@Simon *Was in college, but off-court distractions including drugs killed his career unfortunately. He would have been one of the greatest players of all time if he had lived up to his flashes of potential we saw at Kansas State.

Nicely done.

[@dremenzies5390]

Pascal Siakam is someone who comes to mind when talking about learning motor/hustle. He’s naturally fast and athletic and defense was there but couldn’t stretch the defense and and couldn’t score in traffic so he realized that the only way he could get buckets is to sprint down the court full speed right after a offense inbound or mistake by the other team getting an easy layup and drawing a foul. I think Mo is gonna shape up to be like Siakam in terms of development his first year is gonna be a little rough but with every following year he’ll hopefully make leaps and bounds in his overall game.
