Mouhamed Faye

PROFILE

ADIDAS Eurocamp- June 2025
By Artau Pascual

Proven at the professional level. Body is great for the position: he has the size to make an impact at all levels, and his mobility and athleticism are good enough for a play-finishing, rim-oriented type of big. Faye plays with high levels of motor and energy. He’s a face-up type of big who mainly produces through rolling, baseline cutting and offensive rebounding. His game perception isn’t good enough to have the ball in his hands or try to self-create post-up actions: he slows down the game and doesn’t have the craftiness and coordination to decide appropriately in tight spaces. Defensively, Faye is a good defensive rebounder with fine rim-protecting fundamentals when the defense is set. He can get exposed against explosive, talented guards when he has to guard them in space.

Adidas Eurocamp 2024 - June 2024
By Pietro Cristofori 

Mouhamed Faye took part in the camp for the second year in a row. Faye was recently named best Under-22 player in the Italian 1st Division. The 6'10 big-man has unmatched motor and power. He outplayed older and more experienced players during the weekend showing above average focus and attitude. He looked stronger than he did couple months back. Dominant rebounder at this level of competition. Paint threat. Easily switches on smaller players. He's not skilled and versatile enough on the offensive end to be NBA player in the short term. Euroleague potential.

ANGT Zadar- March 2023

Long arms, wide shoulders, good motor. Mouhamed Faye has great shot-blocking instincts: he was a force at protecting the paint during the whole tournament and, in addition to his physical attributes, he showed good timing and positioning in drop coverage. On the offensive end, he kept it simple: he punished the switch in the post, was a threat in pick&roll situations and displayed some nice touch actions in the paint. Didn’t show shooting range and struggled from the line.
