Those 8 points in a game, and all the other stats, etc, vs NBA G league players, NBA players, G league try out camp players, is still ok, semi good, not bad, etc.
And that would equate to about 2,3,4 ppg, etc at the NBA regular season level.
Also Dennis Rodman, and Jim McIlvaine(7 footer, sonics, co starter, situational starter, 6,7,8th man off the bench, about 26 minutes per game), didn't score that much, and Jim didn't rebound that well(was pretty much just another rim protector)
So Gueye's stats weren't bad. And he might have done better if it wasn't so guard driven, and if they had given him the ball, when he was open, and also stats aren't everything.
It's also obvious that he has NBA freak athleticism, NBA talent, skill, BUT ALSO RAW, is confused by speed of game, does not know what he is doing, needs development.
It's obvious that he needs 1,2 more years in college with the right team, coach, etc.
It's obvious why college recruiters, boosters, etc, offered him about a 250k NIL Deal, want him to transfer to their team.
It's obvious why NBA draft room com and others projected him as a lottery pick.
Also remember that he only just finished his freshman year, and is only 18,19 years old.
Also he is AHEAD of where James Donaldson(About 7 footer that played for WSU's Raveling, that got drafted, had a 10 year NBA Career), was at in James Donaldson freshman year or at the end of his freshman year.
Also if there had been a G League back then(There kind of was with the CBA starting up), James Donaldson would have done a LOT WORSE then Gueye did, if he James Donaldson had tried to play in a G league, if it had existed, at the end of his freshman year.
It's obvious that Gueye probably will be drafted as a 1st round pick, 1,2 years from now, assuming that he plays for the right teams, coaches, gets developed, if he works on his game, etc.
That said, I hope he realizes he is not ready yet, and hope he comes back to WSU.
