Abdoulaye N’Doye, F, France

A relatively unknown name, Abdoulaye N’Doye has all the physical tools to be a good NBA player.

Standing at a wiry 6’7 and weighing 185 pounds, N’Doye also possesses a 7’2 wingspan. While not posting great numbers, international stats are usually misleading. When judging international players, it’s better to pay attention to what they do on the floor, instead of just looking at box scores.

However, N’Doye did post impressive shooting numbers, hitting 52% of his shots and 44% of his 3s. Like Hinton, N’Doye has the ability to be a really good defender at the next level.

The best types of players are two-way wings, and N’Doye has the potential to play that role. He moves well with the ball, has the ability to finish in creative ways, and has the potential to be a good playmaker.

He’s a relative unknown because he plays in France, but his great play has flown under the radar. He looked a step above the competition with his advanced playmaking and finishing ability. While not much of a shooter, he’s not a liability on that end.

If a team needs a good defender for their second unit, N’Doye can be that guy in the second round.
