Raptors sign Mo Bamba… FINALLY!
After years of praying to the heavens for Mo Bamba to become a Toronto Raptor, it finally happened. Quietly, following a win in which Scottie Barnes
was forced to start at center.
Mo was recently in the G League for the Salt Lake Starz, and while he doesn’t solve everything for the Raptors, he will hopefully give the Raptors a chance to test out one of the biggest what-if-center prospects in NBA history.
Let’s talk about Mo. Let’s give you a scouting report. And let’s look at a little bit of what he does for the Raptors.

They don’t need an all star 7 footer as they are deep on all the other positions, they needed a big man like Mo Bamba. I think he’s a good fit for the Raptors with his defensive play and should fit in with their fast pace transition game both on offence and defence.
You are right KISS basketball Keep It Simple & Straightforward.
Hopefully this can help the team out man we neeeeed a big!
Work ethic has been the biggest issue with this guy.
I could swear that a few nights ago when Mo Bamba's name came up for a back up center, your knee jerk reaction was: Hell no! For such a strong reaction, what changed your opinion so much.
The Raptors will be Mo's best NBA fit thus far in his career. Scottie and BI can now march straight to the all-star game. And by the way, IQ will be getting five more assists a game.
Give Mo Bamba a chance in a raptors uniform before judging him.
The theoretical/archetype fit on this Raptors team is absolutely hand-in-glove. This is Bamba's best shot at reviving his career. I'm excited to see how this works with Scottie and BI.
Based on Mo’s foul trouble/lack of IQ issues.. Raps need another 7 footer, especially if Jakob is getting surgery…..
lol, just tell him to block, dunk, rebound and shoot 3s comes down to coaching – Popovich style 🙂 focus on the basics
Do you think mo bomba could be more then just a competent big with a few years of development from
Darko
What an awesome grab!!
15 minutes less C minutes for Scott. I hope Darko and the coaches can get him serviceable.
Shoot open 3’s, space the floor, run hard, screen, lobs, handoffs, easy dump off finishes,rebound, protect the rim. Simple role might work for him
I remember I really liked Bamba back when he was drafted and one of the reasons I liked him is cuz I read up a little about him personally and found out that supposedly he's exceptionally intelligent. He doesn't seem to have translated into his gameplay style oddly enough.
Your buddy Cade Cunningham is 4th in All Star voting with over 1 million votes 🤣 🤣🤣
GIRTHY … PAUSE LMAO 😂
Has got the basketball IQ of Precious?
should picked up Mo instead of Khem Birch back in the day.
Raef Lafrentz was a late bloomer I think..
Reminds me of Javale McGee with a decent 3pt jumper. All the physical tools are these just a mental midget, has his moments of awe, moments of stupidity. If he can lock in and become more aggressive defensively, box and grab some boards, this is a positive signing. Offensively, I don’t expect or need much, rim runs, lobs and a few catch and shoot 3pts.
He will be trained in the Raptors to play big centre. Phoetl has weak body. He can be a big help for the Raptors.
