Summary:

Abdullah Ahmed is a mobile, energetic big man that recently played for the Westchester Knicks in the G-League before later enrolling to play at BYU. His ability to make hustle plays and contribute in his role in the G-League could earn him looks from NBA teams, and while he will need to expand his skill offensively and continue to hone his game, he could project to be a rotational big man in the NBA.
