Write Up
     Alpha Kaba is a fairly skilled PF from France who has some good pro experience under his belt.  He has good size/length and is a fluid athlete.  He has improved his shooting ability and has the potential to become a stretch 4 player in the NBA.  He plays hard and with a good amount of energy.  He has all the tools to be a solid defender in the NBA, but will need to fine tune some things on that end.  He has high role player or draft and stash potential and will likely stay overseas or play in the D-League.  Kaba is a good not great athlete, he is a good rim runner, but lacks the explosiveness or burst to blow past athletic defenders or elevate in traffic.  He is still raw offensively and is improving his feel for the game.  Overall Kaba is a nice player, but has a few things he needs to work on in order to be a contributor in the pros, however, if developed properly he has all the tools to be one of the steals of the draft.
