With a height of 2 meters 13 arm spans of 2 meters 39 standing and touching a height of 2 meters 93, in addition to excellent physical condition, There are many advantages for experts to appreciate before the draft.
That year's draft report showed that Bamba had excellent athleticism and good physical coordination, and could use defense to influence the game. Bamba has a face-framed singles technique, can shoot in the middle distance, rebounding and basket protection ability is outstanding, he plays tough, intelligent, good at learning, full of presence in the game, has the opportunity to become an elite defender at the NBA level.
Bamba, who carries the aura of the "guardian of the forbidden zone", joined the University of Texas and was eventually selected at the 6th place in the 2018 draft and received a 4-year rookie contract from the Magic.
The magic general manager is bullish on Bamba, who is also eager to cash in on his talent in Orlando. Many people believe that Bamba, a talented center, can be the cornerstone of magic's reconstruction, but the next plot is not played out like this.
Bamba is close to invincible in the game, but in reality, he can only sit on the cold bench many times, and at the same time suffer from injuries. Although Bamba averaged 15.8 minutes per game last season, he averaged 8 points, 5.8 boards and 1.26 blocks, but that does not mean that his treatment at the Magic in the new season can be greatly improved.
Bamba does not have many offensive means, the shooting is unstable, the defensive position is poor, the ball quotient does not look high, just like chicken ribs, tasteless, abandoned and regrettable. For now, at least, Magic management has little patience for Bamba, so many American media believe the young center will be traded.
It's 2021, and there are still some local Houston fans who believe Bamba is just unlucky and have too few opportunities for the Rockets to train him, suggesting that Stone make an offer to the Magic.
"NBAANALYSIS" proposed a new three-way deal, Bamba airborne rockets, Augustine assisted Doncic, magic got to eat cake inside Powell, the AMERICAN media said it was a win-win-win-win ending.
The Rockets get Bamba. The Magic got powell, the Lone Ranger 2022 second-round picks and the Rockets 2024 second-round picks. The Lone Ranger was named to Augustine and magic in the second round of 2026. That is the concrete scenario.
Stone is happy with Wood, Sengun, Garruba and Theis, and the Rockets are not short of people on the inside, does this team still have a place for Bamba?
Augustine is somewhat useful for the Lone Ranger, who is well-controlled, shooting more than 38 percent from three-point range last season, with a two-year contract followed, a new season salary of $7 million, and only 330,000 guaranteed in the final year.
The Magic don't lack an interior line, so what's the use of the glassman Powell, who still has a two-year contract?
What the Rockets urgently need to do now is to free up a place, preferably with House or Augustine to get back with a second-round pick.
