6/9 - Latest Mock from nbadraft.net
New projected pick for dallas. Sounds like Bradley for me.
Malick Badiane
POWER FORWARD | (6-11, 225) | SENEGAL
Notes: Badiane played last summer at the adidas ABCD Camp after playing in the Global Games in Dallas for his home country of Senegal.
Positives: Badiane, a native of Senegal, has long arms (7-foot-4 wing span) and a solid NBA body. He already has the shot blocking and rebounding down. He's a big time athlete and has the strength teams look for in a post player.
Negatives: He's very raw, especially on the offensive end of the court. He doesn't really possess much of a post game or a perimeter game. For the first couple of years, he'll basically have to be a defensive stopper.
Summary: Comparisons to Olumide Oyedeji aren't out of the question. But unlike Oyedeji, he's bigger, stronger, more athletic and has decent pro instincts. NBA scouts think he's probably a second-rounder, but don't be surprised if Dallas takes a look at him with the last pick of the first round.
