Malick Badiane

The Skinny:


Badiane is a native of Senegal who flirted with coming over the US to play high
school basketball, but instead wound up in Germany’s second division. Badiane
is a good athlete – although not great – and is still physically developing on
a solid frame. While he’s still learning the game, he’s not as raw as you
might think. He possesses a few moves in the post and has a few fundamentals
down such as rebounding and defensive position.

Because Badiane decided to stay in the draft, you can be certain someone has
given him a first round guarantee. Most feel that it’s the Dallas Mavericks
because of their penchant for taking international talent and one of their
assistants has an African background, but don’t be surprised if another team
takes a shot at him before the Mavs pick.
