Such a bright spot in a dismal year. I hate relying on the portal but it’s fun to find a gem like Gueye.
I hope he ends up on a G-League team. He has an NBA skill set, but just needs to play more in North America and continue to gain strength and experience.
Strength and physicality on D are his detractors. Just rail thin. But he is really fun to watch play. So springy and athletic. Like you, hope he gets the chance to make a nice living playing ball. Somewhere.
Unfortunately I don’t think he has the body for the NBA. His size/shooting should get him a Summer League invite and maybe a G League deal but his best bet is probably heading overseas.
Man, I don't know how he doesn't get a 2-way deal and play some games in the NBA next season. 6'11, still developing. Can shoot 3s, handle it a little, and block shots. Not sure why some NBA team wouldn't sign him to a 2-way. Would be funny if Capel has 3 guys playing in the NBA next season which is about what Jamie had. A few less wins thought.
Needs to really tighten up his ball handling and ability to drive. Could be a G league player then.
Everyone plays in the G-league. Jeter, JJ Moore, JWF, Malik Ellison. That isnt is in question. The question is can he get a 2-way or even make an NBA team outright? He is a heck of an interesting prospect. You can't teach 6'11 with some guard skills. His age really works against him though. He will be 23 before the draft but the fact that is new-ish to basketball and still developing helps.
I don’t know how tall he is, but his wingspan has to be equivalent to a 7-footer
