NBA Draft 2018: Texas PF Mohamed Bamba declares

Texas freshman forward Mohamed Bamba and his freakish build will enter the 2018 NBA Draft.

At 6-11, Bamba’s 7-9 wingspan and 9-6 standing reach will have NBA scouts salivating at his potential as an immediate impact player on defense.

Bamba, 19, averaged 12.9 points, 10.5 rebounds and 3.7 blocks a game in his only season as a Longhorn. He was named second-team All-Big 12 and placed on the Big 12 All-Defensive Team and Big 12 All-Newcomer Team. He was the only player in the conference to average a double-double.

Bamba came to Texas as the No. 3 recruit in the nation in the Class of 2017 (according to 247 Sports) behind only Duke's Marvin Bagley and Arizona's DeAndre Ayton.
