I really like his game. Considering his game he may be too good for a two way.

Armel Traoré
ATG MVP Sports Highlights
(couple of nice plays by Wemby too)




** His younger brother (Nolan Traoré) is a projected 2025 lottery pick.
possibly the best PG in Europe.

Not a bad combination with plenty of upside.

Hope to see a friendly productive competitive audition between Traore and Hinson with South Bay to decide which one to add to the playoff roster. His activity and athleticism appears ahead and it’s good that he can hit the 3!

He can play in 50 NBA games. 2-way is fine.

His brother Nolan is a big time draft prospect next year. Lottery-level, apparently.

Side note: I liked his game too. Probably the guy I liked the most after Knecht in summer league (not to be confused with me making any claims about how that'll translate at the NBA level)

Would be fun to see him play some minutes up front with AD

6-9 with 7'3 wingspan.

I don't see an official thread for him but man does he check the boxes needed for a quality big off the bench.

Solid Size/Lenth
+ Rebounder
Able to move feet
Plays with energy
Developing Jumper

Reminds of TJD from GS.

He's a Center in a skinny 6'8 body.

Don't think he's really an NBA player.
