2017 Target

Mohamed Bamba (#5, 247Sports)
6-11, 215 – Center
New York, NY
Westtown School

The word “upside” fits no player in the class of 2017 quite as much as it does Mohamed Bamba. This high school junior is 6-11 with a wingspan of 7’8”. Although his game is raw and unpolished, he has the ability to affect the outcome of a game due to his sheer size. He can rebound and blocks shots, but he will need to work on refining his post game and developing post moves.
