Unlike his positional counterparts DeAndre Ayton and Marvin Bagley III, Mohamed Bamba has struggled a bit to adapt to the college game. Still very raw, Bamba is averaging just 10.4 points per game.

Even though Mohamed Bamba has not been the best scorer to start the year, his rebounding has certainly been an asset for Texas. With his long frame, Bamba is grabbing 10.0 boards per game. Looked at as a project by NBA scouts, Bamba is going to have to prove that he is ready to make the jump to the NBA. Luckily for him, the season still has a long way to go.
