[tps_title]Mohamed Bamba[/tps_title]
Bamba is a big man who will become bigger as only a high school junior in the upcoming year. He already has an incredible 7’8″ wingspan and standing reach at 9’5″. That makes Class of 2017 five-star center a force around the basket on offense and defense. He plays aggressively with hist post-up moves on offense and ability to block shots on defense. He can also shoot facing the basket with short-range jumpers.
Arizona is among many elite programs already recruiting the Class of 2017 five-star center. Others include Duke, Kentucky and Villanova among many others.
Where he might fit in at Arizona: Arizona will need help at the post with Kaleb Tarczewski already gone after this year and perhaps Dusan Ristic developing into an NBA talent by the 2017-18 year. Incoming freshman post player Chance Comanche will be a junior by then in need of reinforcements.
