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.

I’ve gone to a lot of Magic games and the biggest frustration with Mo Bamba is the fact he has no motor or just desire to play hard. There are 5-7 min stretches where you forget he is on the court and he is the biggest guy there. Doesn’t fight hard enough for rebounds, would rather stay at the 3pt line than enter the offensive action, and his defensive hustle is slow/low IQ at best.

He seems like the typical “guy is tall so my job is basketball.” Very clear to see he doesn’t like basketball or anything involved with it.
