Daily News | Center Mo Bamba is glad to join the Sixers and his mentor, Joel Embiid
The Los Angeles Lakers viewed the former Westtown School standout the same way last season in the wake of trading backup center Thomas Bryant to the Denver Nuggets.
“I would say the biggest misconception about me as a basketball player is probably my love for the game,” Bamba said. “I think that’s the biggest misconception for a lot of youngsters playing in the league. Basketball is — I don’t speak for everyone, but the guys I’ve become good friends with — we are all dialed in. And we all really love the game.”
Bamba was a second-team All-Big 12 selection during his lone season with the Longhorns. He was named to the Big 12 all-defensive team and all-newcomer team while averaging 12.9 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 3.7 blocks. So as expected, the league MVP was the first person Bamba called after signing his deal. Patrick Beverley was the second person he reached out to.
Bamba comes to Philly with career averages of 7.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks in 275 games — including 82 starts — in five seasons.
