What went wrong with Bamba? (alien.top)

Watching Wemby, I started googling to see who the most recent physical comparable would be.

Bamba is 7'0 with a 7'10" .

Drafted 6th and has done jack shit in 5 seasons. Still just 25 years old but a clear bust.

Did this freak of nature just not have any interest in basketball? Any major injuries? Does seem so. WTF happened to him?

Imagine getting a genetic lottery ticket of being 7' with a 7'10" wingspan and just decide youy'll quiet quit your way through your NBA career.

He’s just not good at basketball. Never was a natural rebounder, he’s a volume chucker who takes way more 3s than he has any right to, not a physical player despite being big. If he just focused on being a rim running big with an occasional 3 he’s probably a good backup center, but he’s not good at the any of the little things big men need to be good at.
