Just three 18-year-olds have played in the NBA since the league instituted its one-and-done rule: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Dragan Bender and Devin Booker.
Sekou Doumbouya – who’ll remain 18 until Dec. 23 – could become the fourth.
French forward Sekou Doumbouya has submitted paperwork to the league office to make himself eligible for the 2019 NBA draft, his agent, Bouna Ndiaye of Comsport, told ESPN.
Doumbouya projects as a potential lottery pick.
The 6-foot-9 power forward is extremely physically developed for his age. He’s strong and mobile, and he can elevate.
But he’s still early in his skill development. His shot, handle and feel all need work.
Doumbouya has plenty of tools. His rebounding is already impressive. The rest? It’ll be a project.
