Summary:
Abdoulaye N’Doye is an athletic point forward that could be a defensive specialist in the NBA. Right now, his defense is ahead of his offense as he boasts having terrific defensive skills, but his size and ability to facilitate for his team also makes him an enticing prospect.
He also is a solid spot-up shooter, and he also can finish plays above the rim. N’Doye will need to improve his ability to create his own shot in the half court, but his vast athleticism combined with his solid playmaking skills and defensive versatility could make him a likely second round pick in the 2020 draft.
