Saidou Njoya

1989-born prospect Saidou Njoya (from top-level French team Nancy, as we learned from Christophe Ney of the excellent Europeanprospects.com) creates offense in the blink of an eye with outstanding size, strength and athleticism, but is a work in progress as far as his passing and decision making skills are concerned. He overwhelms defenders physically with a tremendous first step and big, powerful strides, and is also able to change directions somewhat thanks to his above average ball-handling skills. He needs to improve his perimeter shooting as well as his ability to create with his left hand if he wants to crack the rotation in Nancy anytime soon. He would be well served learning from recently signed rookie Zabian Dowdell, who just joined his team this weekend.
