NBA Today: 5 Players with the longest wingspan right now

#2 Mo Bamba 7 feet, 10 inches

Mo Bamba recorded the longest wingspan in his Draft Class last year

Mohamed Bamba spent his freshman year with the Texas Longhorns, where he averaged 12.9 points, 10.4 rebounds, .5 assists, .8 steals, and 3.7 blocks per game. He then declared for the 2018 NBA Draft and was drafted 6th overall by Orlando Magic.

In his NBA debut, he recorded 13 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 blocks while coming off the bench. Although the 7'1 center garnered a lot of attention before he was drafted, he has yet to have a breakout game. He is still coming into his body, with his defense constantly attacked by opponents bigger than him. He is also playing limited minutes at 16.3 MPG, with him not yet conditioned to play longer minutes in the NBA and All-Star Nikola Vucevic playing the same position as him.

Bamba will most likely still play backup to Vucevic next season, but he will definitely be a great asset to the team with his blocking and quickness. He can hopefully learn to utilize his insane wingspan not only in the paint, but also in the perimeter during switches.
