YORO SIDIBE (6’8, Guard/Forward, GBA Prague)

Senegalese swingman arrived in Prague less than one and a half year ago. Raised in Dieda Basketball Academy has barely practised indoor before heading to Europe. The pace of his development here is really amazing. Game by game he shows better skillset but what is even more intriguing is how Yoro improves his court awareness which is not always easy for African players. Moreover he possess elite athleticism and basically NBA tools. 6’8 Sidibe is a great target for alley-oop dunks. His energy, relentless motor and competitive attitude is a combination hard to find. You can see him first in transition getting opportunistic for the dunks and few seconds later first on the defensive end chasing for the blocks. However if you begin from low starting point then the progress is easy to notice. What matters most is how much room for improvement left after you reach good level in order to stand out from competition and become great. Next years will give answer how tall is his ceilling but he can possibly play on High Major level.

STRENGHTS WEAKNESSESS
  • excellent athlete with very good length
  • tremendous leaping ability. Makes legitimate NBA dunks
  • makes progress at the great pace especially at ball skills
  • plays with tremendous effort. Will chase down everyone on the court even if there is very small chance for a block or to gather the ball
  • very agile defender who can really slide his feet. Doesn’t allow his man to move freely
  • Can contribute on the glass. Uses all of his athleticism to secure the rebounds
  • great upside considering he was born on late 1999 and has been introduced to the game late 
  

  • somewhat still raw offensively. Lives and dies by athleticism
  • turnover prone. Feel for the game is a work in progress. Makes silly passess, handles are rigid, gets tunnel vision
  • three point shooting. Doesn’t havea smooth natural motion 
OUTLOOK
Sidibe used to play for Dieda Basketball Academy in Dakar and practised exclusively outdoor before he went to the Czech Republic. He is gifted with great athletic potential and improves his skillset & awareness almost game by game. If you watch him few weeks later all that you see makes you think that he can grown into much more as a basketball player. Needs a lot of playing time and patience at this point but is definitely worth investing in. Possibly stud defender on collegiate level thanks to his tools and energy.
