10. Sekou Doumbouya — SF/PF (France)

The first prospect on our list is Sekou Doumbouya from France. This forward is an athletic freak of nature. With a 6’11” wingspan and an insane standing reach of nearly 9’0″, Doumboya has the potential to be a freak of nature on the basketball court.

Doumbouya is an interesting prospect. At 18 years of age, his skil- set is still very raw and he will be a project to develop. Last season, he averaged 13.3 points and 5.8 rebounds per game on 57.6 percent shooting from the field for the Poitiers.

NBA comparison: Giannis Antetokounmpo

It will take some time for this young player to perfect his craft, but his physical talents are undeniable. His build is eerily similar to the “Greek Freak,” Giannis Antetokounmpo. While Giannis has made giant leaps in his game each year, it is possible that Doumbouya could follow the same path. Watching Doumbouya’s progress is something that NBA fans everywhere should be doing.
