Summary:
Mo Njie is an athletic, energetic big man that has had three, up-and-down seasons at the collegiate level before transferring to play at UTSA. After having a solid freshman season at Eastern Michigan, he had two lackluster seasons at SMU in which he struggled to get meaningful playing time. Recently, Njie turned in a strong performance in an October 15th exhibition game against USC. While it’s fairly uncertain as to how much he’ll contribute offensively this year, Njie is a promising big man that may have considerable upside, and if he plays up to his full potential and have a good season this year, he could end up being a solid rotational big man at the NBA level in the future.
