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.

Can't teach tall and long. So when someone is athletic enough to look like a basketball player and is tall and long people will take a chance on them to be able to teach them basketball skills. Up to the person to learn it though and apply it in games. But that takes a lot of time and passion for the sport. To sit and watch and breakdown film. To apply what you trained and coached on the court. Some people just naturally grasp basketball concepts and some people need to work on it and some people never figure it out. Bamba seems to be in the group that never figured it out.
