Summary:
Adama-Alpha Bal is a very athletic, skilled swingman that had a good collegiate career at Santa Clara. After strangely not getting much run at Arizona, Bal made the most of his opportunities at Santa Clara, and he’s shown improved offensive skills this past season. He’ll need to improve his rebounding and defense, but Bal is a shot maker that can score the basketball. Currently, he is a second round prospect for the 2025 draft.
