Valencia #AdidasNGT: Best prospects from each team

Igor Chytrzynski

January 8, 2019

Gora Camara (01’) the best rebounder in the tournament, all-time rebound record in a single game against Madrid (26 – 8oreb,18dreb) selected to best five and awarded as an MVP. Most of the time he completely dominated the paint and overpowered his opponents, shooting in traffic and through contact like it’s nothing. Has already nicely developed, strong body and decent footwork. The only downside to his performance being no outside game, poor shooting from FT line (40.7%), limited repertoire of moves in the post and sometimes after an offensive rebound forcing a shot over two or three opponents, not looking at other opportunities. Averaged 12.3pts, 15.5reb, 1.3stl, 2.3to’s, 0.3blk.

STRENGHTS	WEAKNESSESS
has a great size standing close to 7 foot in shoes very good physical profile – strong and mature frame in upper & lower body quite mobile. Nice rim to rim speed. Good conditioning for center rebounding machine. Beside top notch tools has a nose and timing to jump for the ball true banger that sets good screens and works hard light feet and good length combination give him intriguing defensive potential. Can guard on perimeter	pretty maximized from physical standpoint has ways to go as far as technical skill development could be more impactful rim protector given his tools has a strange manner to simulate injuries needs to improve FT and shooting in general. Shots from over head, pushes the ball slightly
OUTLOOK
Gora started to play basketball in 2015 in Dieda Basketball Academy in Senegal and joined Bologna before 2017/2018 season. He had a great showing at Adidas Next Generation tournament where even NBA scouts wrote down his name in notebooks. He is must follow for next years but other skills and court awareness need to catch up to his physical profile.
