Mouhamed Gueye

Updated on 6/28/23.  Written by Alan Lu.
2023 rankings were finalized on 6/22/23.

Height: 6-11
Weight: 210
College: Washington State
Classification: Sophomore
Birthdate: 11/9/2002

2023 Top 100 Prospect Rank: 71
Projected Draft Range: 2nd Round to Undrafted
2023 NBA Draft: Round 2, Pick 39 by the Charlotte Hornets
(Rights traded to the Atlanta Hawks)

Pros:

Excels at scoring on off-ball motion plays
Adequate shooter for a big man, has stretch big potential
Decent rebounder
Decent defender
Adequate shot blocker
Above average athlete

Cons:

Still needs to improve his shooting
Must improve his low post game
Needs to improve his playmaking skills
Not an elite rebounder
Can have lapses defensively
Must get stronger
Can be too inconsistent in games

Summary:

Mouhamed Gueye is an athletic big man that can knock down jumpers and finish plays above the rim.  He was invited to the 2022 G-League Elite Camp after the completion of his freshman season, and he later withdrew to return to Washington State.  He will need to be a more consistent player when he is on the floor, and he will need to improve in the finer points of the game.  Currently, he projects to be a borderline second round candidate for the 2023 draft.
