He is raw talent right now, once he gets coached up, he will be good! He hasn't played b-ball that long like the rest of the kids have at his age, I hear he is a fast learner, one thing you can't teach is height. He has the desire to learn and the will to be the best and he shall be, The NBA and college will coach him up, he will not fail or become another Manute Bowl, he is very young! Also notice his soft touch shooting the ball, that is great for someone that tall. God bless this this kid!!
He might have no more than a 12 inch vertical without a post game yet, but it looks like he can get up and down the court, block shots, rebound and has tons of raw potential. He hasn't been playing basketball that long either so he will be interesting to watch in a couple years when he's eligable for the draft. He can be as good as Yao Ming as long as he stays healthy.
Honestly I cant wait till he joins the nba.... once he builds more muscle mass there won't be anyone able to stop him and their won't be a person he can't stop. Future hall of famer.
He moves surprisingly well for a guy his size. Has a nice shooting touch too. But he needs to develop his skills now if he wants to succeed in the NCAA and one day, the NBA. He's also gonna need to start lifting.
this reminds me of the fresh prince of bel air when the coach asked the team any question about the plays.. the answer was always "PASS IT TO WILL" (in this case PASS IT TO MAMADOU NDIAYE)
I see him becoming a Manute Bol type player, though hopefully with more longevity. Then again, he could be the next Hasheem Thabeet or Shagari Alleyne.
guy is 7'5 and probably still growing, if he stays healthy and has any sort of basketball skill he will be in the nba. He doesnt really need to develop a big skill set
@ffdjr1313 you are right, He is a perfect canvis for a GREAT nba player,...lets admit it hieght maker almost every differane in basketball, but in every sport you HAVE to have heart for it and The will to wanna be the best you can, and in his case (possibly) THE best......i dont see no desire in him...
I dont think your are quite grasping what I was trying to say...I meant that Mamadou playing against these high school kids would be like me playing against a bunch of 6th graders on an 8ft rim.
What do you mean? If he was your size, then he would be your size. He wouldn't be 4 ft 5 on an 8 ft rim. He's huge. He doesn't need to be good when all he has to do is stand infront of the net, and hardly jump an inch off the ground to dunk. He can run pretty decent for his size. And the best part of this, is that he isn't some 6'7 guy who we all know won't make it in the NBA seeing as the average height is 6'7. He's 7'5. Nobody in the NBA currently is that size.
As a senegalese I can tell it's not him, that guy on wiki already played in the NBA and he plays in Europe now, before commenting dumb shit, be sure of what you say
Soft touch! But you can tell that the coach tries to keep him from dribbling... Such a long ways between his hands and the ground, would make it easy to steal the ball from him. For the fact that he can actually move pretty well... get him into some more And1 games and some street ball games so he can really learn how to control the ball, and he would be unstoppable!
he might be tall, but that's not all there is. he needs footwork and better fundamentals. and he needs to jump- height is an advantage, but not when someone jumps as tall as you and you don't leave the ground...
@KAUpitcher123 Actually I know a lot about basketball. He's got some skill right now but he has a ton of potential. Get him some good coaching and he can be very successful. I never said he could go against lebron or any of those guys and I said he can be successful. To me, getting a full ride to a division 1 school for basketball is going somewhere. As far as the league goes, tons of players who end up going to big schools play in sub par leagues so their stats look good.
THAT'S HIS FATHER! Really people? The kid in the video is a teenager! You can't tell the difference between a teenager and a middle-aged man? OMG. GET REAAAL.
He really doesn't even have any basketball skills, seriously. He's just tall. Any of us could do this if we're playing against 1st graders on a Fisher Price hoop.
He would never be able to play for a big time Division 1 team because he can't play man to man defense. All he does defensively is stand around in the paint. Whatever school signs this guy would have to change their entire identity as a team and I don't think this kid would be worth it.

i've never heard a crowd more excited over a jumpball....

Mamadou is my friend he's cool
i really want to play this guy
Pink shoes..real cute..
Hes just chillin
I remember playing on a 7ft. rim..
He's just a kid. He got a long way too go to a good basketball player, with the right coaching he could og a long way. He a project

i wish he would go to DUKE or PITT
I see him becoming a Manute Bol type player, though hopefully with more longevity. Then again, he could be the next Hasheem Thabeet or Shagari Alleyne.
MANUTE BOL is back.....
that smile at 0:33 was like " these niggas think im a high schooler, im about to go in on these kids"
guy is 7'5 and probably still growing, if he stays healthy and has any sort of basketball skill he will be in the nba. He doesnt really need to develop a big skill set
@ffdjr1313 This guy can make it wherever he wants. He's 7 ft. 5! That's bigger than anyone in the NBA and he has skill
@ffdjr1313 you are right, He is a perfect canvis for a GREAT nba player,...lets admit it hieght maker almost every differane in basketball, but in every sport you HAVE to have heart for it and The will to wanna be the best you can, and in his case (possibly) THE best......i dont see no desire in him...
I actually played against this dude...all I can say is holy shit O.o
look at number 10 at 10:35 his elite socks are backwards
he's making 3's in his warmup. granted its HS 3's, but shows some promise.
Gotta love his defense. Just stand around laughing at all the short people lol
Just watching him is sending me to sleep. He's just cumbersome
look how stagnant the offense is because they just rely on him every time...
How is the score that close? Throw alley oops to him every time down the court
i feel sorry for him i mean i saw his team today and everyone in the gym was looking at him
hakeem olajuwon was 34 too
terrible comparison. oden was an excellent player, and played well in his limited NBA games, he was just always injured.
Manute BoL is back.........
if his action is speeder......
this is like having a hack in nba2k
look at him, he might be tall but he's bearly moving.
He could be really good with work on some things.
he should be having like 10 blocks a game
lol at all the haters..he's gonna be making millions in a few years. U mad?
Why did Greg Oden go back to highschool?
How did he lose the tip.....
@09:46 Get outta way and take that...
9:55 watch the court in the background on the far left... kid made a half court shot lol
Oh basketball. A sport where you don't need to be skilled to succeed at all, you just need to have to correct body type.
what position does he play???????
@Pre2247 did u really just say lad?
looks down to you mean xd he's taller then shaq
Why is he going to irvine?!
ASC!
he is wearing NIKE HYPERDUNK is it??
cuz it's a good school and he likes it there? who are you to judge his college decision?
I bet all of his teammates led in the assists stats in their area..
he should play volleyball
He's wearing 34, Shaq's number. This shows who he probably looks up to.

Bet u could take him tbgb09
:D he just drops the ball to the basket and laughs :D!!!
Is this dude playing on a JV team?
He actually doesnt shoot that bad
where the hell the hell do you find two basketball teams with one black guy each. I could do good in this league
looks like a tennis ball in his hands

PINK shoes on a mens basketball team???? what the hell
Imagine reading there roster on a program. Going down the line. 5"6, 5"6, 5"7, 5"10, 7"5, 5"... Wait what? lmao
Unless he shows some passion and heart he wont make it
@KAUpitcher123 Actually I know a lot about basketball. He's got some skill right now but he has a ton of potential. Get him some good coaching and he can be very successful.

theyr playing rack city? HAHAHHA! hope its just the instrumental.
Threw*
LOL, dude definitely was celebrating winning the jump ball! 4:10
Yeah, i'm assuming Akeem(Hakeem) Olujawon....
Tall or not let me tell you Manute bol(RIP) who played in the NBA never had the skills Mamadou has right now at 17.
man that ref through such a bad jump ball
WHITNEY
@GoatPWN pointgaurd
threw*
well he will go to college.
threw**
These white basketballers are probably taller than most people commenting on this video.
*It
*your
*.
Worst flop ever at 8:25
THAT'S HIS FATHER! Really people? The kid in the video is a teenager! You can't tell the difference between a teenager and a middle-aged man? OMG. GET REAAAL.
It looks like he's not even trying.
u can tell he's not even motivated, playing average sized kids is just far too predictable for him to even enjoy it
He really doesn't even have any basketball skills, seriously. He's just tall. Any of us could do this if we're playing against 1st graders on a Fisher Price hoop.
its hard to believe all his team mates are like 6ft tall wen his so big ahahaha they look like 12yrolds s;
if he's 18, i'm 3. Like most African athletes, his "official" age is questionable.
that nigga had to duck 00:19 lmao
I wonder if he always plays with such a lack of effort.
gotta love how the other team thought it would be cool if they all bought pink shoes instead they just look really gay
high school player? really? wiki says he is 37...
It was like a rare skin disease. Stevens-Johnson syndrome
Dude all they have to do is cross half court!
he seems clumsy. he needs to go up against real competition
He would never be able to play for a big time Division 1 team because he can't play man to man defense. All he does defensively is stand around in the paint. Whatever school signs this guy would have to change their entire identity as a team and I don't think this kid would be worth it.
hes on a team full of short white guys who only shoot 3s. classic
Was he laughing?
lol their kobe grinches :b
you have a 7'5 guy on this team thats probably 2a.. and this score is this close. jokes.
it wasn't as bad as ur spelling of threw
he is 37 years old
