Last is my choice for an international sleeper: French big man Mouhammadou ‘Mam’ Jaiteh. A second-round talent, I believe Jaiteh has good upside as a potential backup center, possibly with double-double talent.

Strengths

Yes. He has that. He is a big body down low. Quick but not very quick, moves well but not too well, but he is big. Not afraid to be aggressive in the paint and has good vision near the hoop. He boxes out and rebounds well. Typical backup center, really.

Weaknesses

With his typical backup center strengths comes typical backup center weaknesses. He is slower than a lot of starting-caliber centers, and not very creative or dynamic offensively, with average defense. I simply think he’ll be a solid backup and provide good value for whichever team drafts him in the second round.

Next: How do they stack up?
