As we all know, black players make up the majority of players in the NBA, and it turns out that black people have a better position in basketball, which relies on more physical confrontation. However, there is one thing that may make many fans wonder, that is, why are black people in the United States in the field of basketball, but as the "origin" of black Africa, basketball level is far inferior to the United States? The answer is simple, because Africa's economy is relatively backward, and even very talented players are lost due to the lack of formal training.
However, with the NBA player Bamot vigorously developing basketball in Africa in recent years, but also let many African basketball talented children have a channel to the United States, now more and more African Players gradually enter the league, and even some have played a good performance! So, what is the level of African players in the active NBA who are on a team?
Cumminga
Kuminga, who was picked by the Warriors with the 7th pick in this year's draft, was born in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, as a black player from Africa, the biggest feature of Cuminga is that he has excellent physical talent, whether it is running, bouncing or accelerating, he belongs to the top of the league, if Cuminga needs to improve, it is undoubtedly the ball dealer and small technology. This season, Cumminga averaged 8.6 points and 3 rebounds in just 15 minutes per game, which is already a good result for a rookie, and he is also the object of warrior training in the future.
Okoji
Speaking of Okoji, I think everyone's first impression is to prove that harden's retreat step is three points, as one of the few players who can block Harden's retreat step head-on, Okoji's physical fitness and defense are very good. Okoji comes from Nigeria, a basketball power in Africa, and has a good performance in the 19-year men's basketball World Cup, but he cannot attack independently and project weakly, which is also his biggest shortcoming.
Ibaka
Although Ibaka is better known for playing for Spain in international competitions, Ibaka's ancestral home is the Congo. As an African player, Ibaka perfectly interprets the characteristics of local players, who are still able to jump and jump, and have excellent physical talent, especially the arm span of 2 meters 2. At his peak, Ibaka was undoubtedly in the Thunder period, when he was even known as the "Thunder Four" along with Westbrook, Durant, and Harden, and was also the league's top forward player that year.
Siakam
Siakam is well known, no doubt in the 18-19 season, when Siakam was the well-deserved core of the Raptors' interior line, and his one-handed turn and back play even made Green cry out in the Finals. Siakam is from Cameroon, Africa, home to Bamot. As the core of today's Raptors, Siakam can average 21.5 points and 8.4 rebounds per game, which can be said to be a good offensive player.
Embiid
There is no doubt that if the strongest African player in the NBA at present, it is undoubtedly embiid. Embiid is also from Bamot, who fell in love with basketball under the influence of Bamot's basketball training camp. Embiid has averaged 29.7 points and 11.2 rebounds per game this season, temporarily ranking first in the league's scoring list and currently the biggest favorite for MVP this season. So, I don't know what level this lineup of Okoji, Cuminga, Ibaka, Siakam and Embiid is in the NBA today? This lineup can guarantee the finals. （ikuet）
