Kamagate, Ismael  Paris  6'11" 220 C 1/17/01

Kamagate is a 21 year-old BIG from Paris, France that knows his role. He played this season with Paris Basketball in the Jeep Elite League, the top league in France. Kamagate averaged 11.2 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 1.5 blocked shots per game. He shot 64% FG, and 65% FT. He doesn't shoot the three-ball at all. He had more than twice as many turnovers as assists. He is basically a rebounder, and dunker on offense and he does that well. He has good hands, often doing Otis Thorpe-esque one handed jams. Right handed. Defensively, Kamagate can be an anchor. His DEFRTG is 3.5 points better than the Paris team DEFRTG. ...Kamagate is likely drafted near the end of round one. We think at this stage, in the NBA, he would be a third Center at best. That doesn't sound like someone you spend a first round pick on. 

 

Our best advice: in 2016, the 58th pick was Daniel Hamilton. We advised, "draft Gary Payton II."
