📣FIBA U18 Afrobasket 2024: O. SAMBE 06'/6'9''/C was one of the top contributors on the Senegalese team, showcasing his amazing motor, running ability, and activity around the rim. Had a huge impact as a slasher due to his ability to cut to the basket and move without the ball. His full-court sprints were exceptional paired with his overall athleticism. He was very aggressive on the glass, being able to either snatch the ball high in the air or cover long rebounds. He has potential as a reliable outside shooter and can play the center position if needed.

In its 4th year, the BAL has never been that exciting with players such as MALUACH, DARLAN, but what about the old African warriors? :)

[Jacques Vandescure @Jvandescure]

🤜🏾THEY ARE COMING: LET THE WORLD KNOW
K. MALUACH
T. DARLAN
2 kings from Africa, setting the bar high not just on the court but also as leaders with profound influence on the next generation of players. Their humility amidst success is truly inspiring.
